Hey, I'm experimenting with some sqlcounter directives in radiusd.conf and chilli as the NAS. I've defined the following sqlcounter stanza for a daily traffic limit: sqlcounter defined in radiusd.conf: (the query was corrected as suggested by tnt on a previous thread on the list, correct me if I got it wrong please) sqlcounter counterChilliSpotMaxDailyOctets { counter-name = ChilliSpot-Max-Daily-Octets check-name = ChilliSpot-Max-Daily-Octets reply-name = ChilliSpot-Max-Total-Octets sqlmod-inst = sql key = User-Name reset = daily error-msg = "Sorry, your maximum traffic usage (download and upload) has exceed the provided limit" query = "SELECT (SUM(AcctInputOctets + AcctOutputOctets)) FROM radacct WHERE UserName='%{%k}' AND UNIX_TIMESTAMP(AcctStartTime) + AcctSessionTime > '%b'" } In the authorization phase, I'm seeing the following in debug log: rlm_sqlcounter: Entering module authorize code sqlcounter_expand: 'SELECT (SUM(AcctInputOctets)+SUM(AcctOutputOctets)) FROM radacct WHERE UserName='%{User-Name}'' radius_xlat: 'SELECT (SUM(AcctInputOctets)+SUM(AcctOutputOctets)) FROM radacct WHERE UserName='tester1'' sqlcounter_expand: '%{sql:SELECT (SUM(AcctInputOctets)+SUM(AcctOutputOctets)) FROM radacct WHERE UserName='tester1'}' radius_xlat: Running registered xlat function of module sql for string 'SELECT (SUM(AcctInputOctets)+SUM(AcctOutputOctets)) FROM radacct WHERE UserName='tester1'' rlm_sql (sql): - sql_xlat radius_xlat: 'tester1' rlm_sql (sql): sql_set_user escaped user --> 'tester1' radius_xlat: 'SELECT (SUM(AcctInputOctets)+SUM(AcctOutputOctets)) FROM radacct WHERE UserName='tester1'' rlm_sql (sql): Reserving sql socket id: 2 rlm_sql (sql): - sql_xlat finished rlm_sql (sql): Released sql socket id: 2 radius_xlat: '24004370' rlm_sqlcounter: (Check item - counter) is greater than zero rlm_sqlcounter: Authorized user tester1, check_item=26214400, counter=24004370 rlm_sqlcounter: Sent Reply-Item for user tester1, Type=ChilliSpot-Max-Total-Octets, value=26239950 modcall[authorize]: module "counterChilliSpotMaxDailyOctets" returns ok for request 0 The entry in radcheck is as follows: | 346 | tester1 | ChilliSpot-Max-Daily-Octets | := | 26214400 | What happens is that it seems the counter doesn't work as expected. When a user logs in, performs some traffic usage, logs out and logs in again, the replied back attribute for chilli doesn't contain a value which is the remainder of the traffic usage, but something else. According to the radius debug above, if check_item=26214400 and counter=24004370, how come value=26239950? So I'm guessing I'm missing something but I'm too obsessed with the sqlcounter to notice it. (is the subtractation not a normal decimal action?) The FreeRADIUS version used is 1.1.7 Regards, Liran.
