I have implemented a file scanning mechanism to scan the radius accounting detail file and subsequently upload to database server but at the time of scanning, I detect the presence of a "yesterday" file ( ie a completed file). This will mean that my accounting record inside the database is one day late.
Now I understand there is a way to instruct radius server to change the file name hourly, so theoretically I should be able to scan the presence of "last hour" completed file, and then upload to database server.
However, assumming the scanning, processing, and subsequent uploading to database server is very slow, it could mean that from the start of one scan to the next scan, if more than one hour has passed, I would have missed one of the "last hour" file.
Anyone has a better idea of how to process an hourly file more gracefully ? This is probably a stupid question but whay not log the accounting directly to the sql via the sql module?
