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?
Unsure. It may work already if you use something like netcat to create a named domain socket and then point linelog at that. There's nothing in the code that checks if the thing pointed to by filename is a file :)
Collectd does have some useful/interesting transport capabilities. How is it used as an aggregator in this case?
There is a plugin for doing configurable aggregation of metrics. It's a different concept from statsd though. In any case the point was writing to statsd/collectd (different, but both plain-text protocols) rather than (or in addition to) writing to graphite. Z.
