No, you'll need to use a log-parser, or better yet, store in an SQL table
and then you can generate all kinds of reports/outputs to analyze your
data.

There is no GUI to FreeRADIUS. It is configured via simple plain text
files. Depending on your method for authenticating users ( from system
passwords, SQL, LDAP, others ) there are numerous ways to manage users,
but that is outside the scope of the Radius server.

For plain-text files, it is self contained. If you want to use SQL or
LDAP or something else, you'll need to have that installed, but none of
those are *required* to make FreeRADIUS run.
