#	This is a sample configuration for "decoupled" accounting.
#	"Decoupled" accounting is where the accounting packets are
#	NOT written "live" to the back-end database.  This method
#	can only be used if you are not interested in "live"
#	accounting.  i.e. Where you can tolerate delays that may be
#	a few seconds, before accounting packets get written to
#	the DB.
#	Oddly enough, this method can speed up the processing of
#	accounting packets, as all database activity is serialized.
#	This file is NOT meant to be used as-is.  It needs to be
#	edited to match your local configuration.

Define a virtual server to write the accounting packets. Any "listen" section that listens on an accounting port should set "virtual_server = write-detail.example.com

server write_detail.example.com {
	recv Accounting-Request {

Write the "detail" files.

See raddb/modules/detail.example.com for more info.

		detail.example.com
	}

That’s it!

}

Define a virtual server to process the accounting packets.

server read-detail.example.com {

Read accounting packets from the detail file(s) for the home server.

	listen {
		type = detail
		filename = "${radacctdir}/detail.example.com/detail-*:*"
		load_factor = 10
		track = yes
	}

All packets read from the detail file are processed through the preacct && accounting sections.

The following text is copied verbatim from sites-available/default. You should edit it for your own local configuration.

Pre-accounting. Decide which accounting type to use.

recv Accounting-Request {

Ensure that we have a semi-unique identifier for every request, and many NAS boxes are broken.

	acct_unique

Read the 'acct_users' file

	files
}

Accounting. Log the accounting data.

send Accounting-Response {

Create a 'detail’ed log of the packets. Note that accounting requests which are proxied are also logged in the detail file.

	detail
#	daily

Return an address to the IP Pool when we see a stop record.

Ensure that control.IP-Pool.Name is set to determine which

	#  pool of IPs are used.
	sqlippool

Log traffic to an SQL database.

NOTE! You will have to ensure that any accounting packets NOT handled by the SQL module (e.g. "stop with zero session length" result in the accounting section still returning "ok".

Otherwise, the server will think that the accounting packet was NOT handled properly, and will keep trying to process it through this virtual server!

See "Accounting queries" in mods-config/sql/main/$driver/queries.conf

#	sql

Instead of sending the query to the SQL server, write it into a log file.

#	sql_log

Cisco VoIP specific bulk accounting

#	pgsql-voip

Filter attributes from the accounting response.

	attr_filter.accounting_response

See "Autz-Type Status-Server" for how this works.
