[Rod Elias]

Hi again!

Which radius version are you using?


Also, could you please post your ippool.conf file?

Thanks!

Hi Rod,

     Yes this really did help me. Thanks for the idea for checking and 
alerting via cron ( maybe put into Zabbix )

Interestingly this has not run out of space. So I don't know why I see 
messages like "[sqlippool] pool appears to be full"

+-------------------+--------+-----------+
| pool_name         | total  | allocated |
+-------------------+--------+-----------+
| proximus-carli    | 130047 |      2767 |
| proximus-mechelen | 130047 |         1 |
| vodafone          |  32510 |     23192 |
| vodafone-m2m      | 130048 |      NULL |
+-------------------+--------+-----------+


Kind regards,
Sophie

This way, we have a script running in crontab that checks the result of that query and the threshold value and then triggers an e-mail and/or SMS warning about the running out of IP in the pools.
