DESCRIPTION
You can use the radius-accounting component to configure a custom monitor, or you can use the default RADIUS
accounting monitor that the Global Traffic Manager provides. This type of monitor provides information about
the usage of the RADIUS service for accounting purposes.

EXAMPLES
create radius-accounting my_radius_acct defaults-from radius_accounting

Creates a monitor named my_radius_acct that inherits properties from the default RADIUS accounting monitor.

list radius-accounting

Displays the properties of all of the RADIUS accounting monitors.

OPTIONS
app-service
Specifies the name of the application service to which this monitor belongs. The default value is none.
Note: If the strict-updates option is enabled on the application service that owns the object, you cannot
modify or delete this monitor. Only the application service can modify or delete this monitor.

check-until-up
When enabled, specifies that when an active and passive (inband) monitor are combined in an AND type of
rule, the active monitor performs health checks only when the pool member is down, or until the pool
member is marked as up. When the passive monitor marks the pool member down, the active monitor resumes
health checks.

The default value is disabled.

debug
Specifies whether the monitor sends error messages and additional information to a log file created and
labeled specifically for this monitor. You can use the log information to help diagnose and troubleshoot
unsuccessful health checks. The default value is no.

The options are:

no Specifies that the system does not redirect error messages and additional information related to
this monitor.

yes Specifies that the system redirects error messages and additional information to the
/var/log/monitors/--.log file.

defaults-from
Specifies the name of the monitor from which you want your custom monitor to inherit settings. The
default value is radius.

description
User defined description.

destination
Specifies the IP address and service port of the resource that is the destination of this monitor. The
default value is *:*.

Possible values are:

*:* Specifies to perform a health check on the IP address and port supplied by a pool member.

*:port
Specifies to perform a health check on the server with the IP address supplied by the pool member
and the port you specify.

IP address:port
Specifies to mark a pool member up or down based on the response of the server at the IP address and
port you specify.

glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob for a description of glob expression
syntax.

interval
Specifies the frequency at which the system issues the monitor check. The default value is 10 seconds.

manual-resume
Specifies whether the system automatically changes the status of a resource to up at the next successful
monitor check. The default value of the manual-resume option is disabled.

Note that if you set the manual-resume option to enabled, you must manually mark the resource as up
before the system can use it for load balancing connections.

name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required for the commands create, delete, and
modify.

nas-ip-address
Specifies the network access server IP address that the system uses to identify itself to the RADIUS
server. Using this option, multiple BIG-IP(r) systems can appear as a single network access device to the
RADIUS server. The default value is none.

partition
Displays the administrative partition within which the component resides.

regex
Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an at
sign (@[regular expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help regex for
a description of regular expression syntax.

secret
Specifies the secret the monitor needs to communicate with the resource. The default value is none.

time-until-up
Specifies the amount of time in seconds after the first successful response before a node is marked up. A
value of 0 (zero) causes a node to be marked up immediately after a valid response is received from the
node. The default value is 0 (zero).

timeout
Specifies the number of seconds the target has in which to respond to the monitor request. The default
value is 31 seconds.

If the target responds within the set time period, it is considered up. If the target does not respond
within the set time period, it is considered down. Also, if the target responds with a RESET packet, the
system immediately flags the target as down without waiting for the timeout interval to expire.

username
Specifies the username, if the monitored target requires authentication. The default value is none.
