(RADIATOR) Radiator logging

[Ash Garg]

Hugh,

Radiator does not spend much time processing the packet as per the log below
however the process is running at 80%, postgres at 15% and its dropping
packets.

Hello Ash -

If tcpdump sees the requests, but Radiator does not, it can only be
because the radius UDP ports are overflowing the buffer pool.

You can check how long Radiator is taking to process requests by
looking at a trace 4 debug with a LogMicroseconds logger (requires
Time-HiRes from CPAN). Performance problems with Radiator are almost
always due to database performance issues.

regards

Hugh
