color:#1F497D'>You can configure FreeRADIUS to store all of the accounting
information in one file in the same directory. Look at the
etc/raddb/modules/detail file for instructions on how to change where
accounting information is logged. The default detail file name is:
detailfile = ${radacctdir}/%{Client-IP-Address}/detail-%Y%m%d. You could change
it to: detailfile = ${radacctdir}/detail-%Y%m%d and the accounting
information would be written to one file independent of the NAS.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<br>
I have redundant NAS nodes and they obviously have two different NAS-IP. If one
NAS fails, the entity for which I'm accounting traffic is automatically
switched over to the redundant NAS which can keep sending accounting
records to Radius. However, the records will have different NAS-IP,
NAS-Identier and NAS-Port-ID.<br>
<br>
The acct-session-id and framed-ip-addrss will be the same (and this is what I
use to identify the entity for which I collect acct info). Is there any way
that this new records will be written to the same file as before the failover
so that I can correlate the records?<br>
<br>
I see that the acct directory is in
/var/log/freeradius/radacct/<NAS-IP>/. This <NAS-IP> directory name
is what is bothering me. Is there any way to change this?<br>
Thanks<br>
Marlon<br>
