Monitoring Pending RADIUS Accounting Stop Messages

Purpose

Display information about RADIUS accounting stop messages that are being withheld due to an inability to contact the RADIUS accounting server.

Action

When you want to know whether the number of pending accounting-stop messages is nearing the maximum, you can display a simple count of pending requests:

user@host> show network-access aaa statistics pending-accounting-stops
Pending accounting stops: 10,000

You can use other commands to display more information about the accounting messages. The next example displays information for all services in the accounting session for the user, vjshah29@example.com. Although this example shows only one user, this command actually displays the information for all subscribers for whom accounting is being backed up.

You can display summary information for all users with a particular access profile. In the following example, only a single user, vjshah29@example.com, has the specified access profile, ce-ppp-profile:

Type:         Username:               Session ID:     Service ID:       Service
  pppoe        vjshah29@example.com       84
  pppoe        vjshah29@example.com       84              94                cos-service
  pppoe        vjshah29@example.com       84              93                filter-service
  pppoe        vjshah29@example.com       84              95                filter-service6

You can also display summary information for all subscribers that have accounting-stop messages pending, regardless of access profile. The next example displays information for two users. Because the subscriber larry@example.com is not shown in the previous example, he must have a different access profile than vjshah29@example.com, even though he has received the same services.

 Type:         Username:                   Session ID:     Service ID:       Service
  pppoe        vjshah29@example.com           84
  pppoe        vjshah29@example.com           84              94                cos-service
  pppoe        vjshah29@example.com           84              93                filter-service
  pppoe        vjshah29@example.com           84              95                filter-service6
  pppoe        larry@example.com              85
  pppoe        larry@example.com              85              94                cos-service
  pppoe        larry@example.com              85              93                filter-service
  pppoe        larry@example.com              85              95                filter-service6
