Yes...this is probably the best way of doing this. The tricky part is correlating them with the userids as the NMC doesn't know the userids, so you'll have to match these records up with the Arc RADIUS accounting records to be able to correlate disconnect reasons with userids. Not impossible by any means, but it does add another little wrinkle. :)
Hmmm... I didn't even know you could do this. What common information is there between your normal ARC-supplied accounting record and the NMC info?
Well...I'm pretty sure that slot and channel are available in both, so that can be used to match them up. It would really be nice if there some sort of call reference number to match between DSPs and Arcs, while the DSPs do have a call reference number, I don't believe the Arcs know what it is. Would be nice though. :)
Do you generally log to the same radius server or keep this seperate and match things up on an as-needed basis?
We've only played with this and never set it up to make full use of it. I just wish I could trade some of these square tuits for some round ones. :/
Any idea what Radiator would think of these 'extra' accounting records?
I would hope it wouldn't have any problem with them. RADIUS is designed to be a stateless protocol, so it *shouldn't* have any problems with them. It should just be new records that come into the RADIUS server and get logged or processed like any other. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
