The easiest way to check the number of authentications per day is simply to
count the number of accounting records (starts or stops) in your database on a
daily basis. Also if you set logging to the database, you can do the same thing
with failure messages (or you can just parse the log file).
As to measuring total response time for each authentication, that is a bit
harder, as Radiator will only see the access request after the modem handshake
and the initial PPP sequence. Some NAS equipment will report the amount of time
taken to set up a call in the accounting records, but most do not. Normally
Radiator does not log successful authentications unless it is running with
Trace 4, but I would not recommend this in a production environment. There are
some statistics maintained by Radiator that you can query via a radius status
server request or via SNMP. The only other option might be to check your
database statistics for response times to certain queries.
