Re: Logging raw accounting packets

I would like to put accounting logs into some sort of database, but store the entire raw binary packet as well as some decoded attributes.

I'd suggest using tcpdump for raw packets.

I can think of plenty of options for the storage: e.g. mysql Blob column, CouchDB binary attachment, MongoDB etc. But I can't see how to get at the raw packet from the freeradius config. Even rlm_perl doesn't seem to receive the raw packet, only a hash of decoded attributes.

Is there a module which can do this already, or should I be looking to hack something up in C?

There's no module to do this. There are very few reasons to do this, IMHO. Alan DeKok.
