As already written, I updated to FreeRADIUS 3.2.5 on Friday evening and was now able to do some tests in our lab environment. I think there are still some "glitches" and I still have some comprehension questions.
OK. The main reason for the counters to be imperfect is that it takes time for the server to process packets. So if you query a running server, you might get more "requests" than "responses". But the numbers should be close. Also, if the server stops receiving packets, and cleans up its internal de-duplication cache, the number of requests should match the number of responses. That being said, some simple tests show that the stats are off. :( I've pushed some patches which: a) don't count Status-Server as Access-Request b) in some cases other packets were double-counted as Access-Request, so those numbers were too high c) it now updates the response statistics more quickly if it can. So the numbers should be a lot better.
Thanks in advance for any help on this topic; I know you wrote that the statistics are not always perfect, but I would like to build a monitoring on some parts of those values and if they could be corrected, that would be cool.
Yup. Alan DeKok.
