Writing to graphite (and influxdb) would be great. It is common to use statsd (or collectd) as an aggregation front-end to carbon, using a less efficient but easier to write plain-text protocol. Would that be already possible with freeradius, e.g. sending linelog to a udp socket? On 2015-02-18 03:27, Arran Cudbard-Bell wrote:
Just looking at graphite and wondering if anyone thinks a native rlm_graphite module to update counters using accounting data would be useful.
One big advantage graphite has advantages over other systems in that it can be used to graph very large numbers of metrics. It could be used to produce traffic graphs for every user on a network for example.
The module would implement the pickle protocol, and use a connection pool for TCP Connection caching.
