Accounting

By default GNU Radius supports three types of accounting. Any additional accounting methods can be defined using extension mechanisms.

The accounting methods are applied to a request in a following sequence:

1. UNIX Accounting
2. Detailed Request Accounting
3. SQL Accounting
4. Custom Accounting

In this sequence, only UNIX Accounting is obligatory, all other methods are applied only when enabled.

If any accounting type in this sequence fails, the accounting is deemed to fail and all subsequent methods are not invoked.

• UNIX Accounting: UNIX style utmp/wtmp accounting.
• Detailed Request Accounting: Detailed requests.
• SQL Accounting: Accounting to SQL server.
• Custom Acct: Defining Custom Accounting Types.
