The Timestamp attribute as per radiator docs is the system time when packet is
received, adjusted by ACCT_DELAY_TIME to give a more accurate time for which
the event happened. Radiator seems to add this attribute in the Handler.pm:
if ($p->code eq 'Accounting-Request')
{
# Add a pseudo attribute for the Timestamp
# (adjusted by Delay-Time)
# Some modules (AuthSQL) and logfile scripts rely on it
$p->change_attr('Timestamp',
$p->{RecvTime}
- int $p->getAttrByNum($Radius::Radius::ACCT_DELAY_TIME));
Two issues I had were:
1. Since this Timestamp attr is added in the Handler processing, special
characters such as %f and %g which reference the timestamp are not available
with any processing that happens before the Handler.
2. Since it is only added to 'Accounting-Request', special characters such as
%f and %g are not available at all for the AuthLog processing since it is a
time when an 'Authentication-Request' is being processed.
These issues for me were easily resolved by adding the Timestamp with a
ClientHook for all packets, but I thought i would mention it for consideration
of adding the Timestamp sooner, and possibly for auth and acct packets.
