Logging for Assets and Customers

[Stefan Winter]

  Hi,

first, there is no such thing as "requesting that information" - a 
RADIUS client sends a request, and it sends attributes as configured on 
the client. There is no previous negotiation phase where the server 
would tell "give me this piece of info".

However, there is some opportunity to harvest info from incoming 
requests. You can do, for example:

client foo {
     ...
     asset_type = expensive-service
     ...
}

client bar {
     ...
     asset_type = dirtcheap-service
     ...
}

client baz
     ...
     asset_type = dirtcheap-service
     ...
}

and then modify the SQL queries to log %{client:asset_type} . On 
run-time, the content of this variable will expand to either 
expensive-service or dirtcheap-service, depending from which client IP 
address the request came in. Re MAC-Address: this is in the attribute 
Calling-Station-Id (*iff* the client sends that attribute).

You're up for a bit more trouble if you have multiple different services 
coming in from the same IP address. In this case your fate relies on the 
abilitiy to instruct the respective RADIUS client software to include 
some identification. But that's really up to the client then.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
