Hi Heikki,

I'll give this a shot.

Thanks.

Hello Garry,

you could try something like this for RADIUS requests:

PreClientHook sub { my $p=${$_[0]}; \
              my $u = $p->get_attr('User-Name'); \
              if ($u eq 'mikem') { $p->{PacketTrace} = '1' } }

This enables PacketTrace for the request just like it had passed through a 
clause with PacketTrace enabled. When PacketTrace is enabled with 
PreClientHook, the it will log the incoming message giving you good view on how 
the request processing goes.

Also, just this week we discussed with a client about possibilities to suppress 
Trace 4 logging for some requests such as monitors, keep-alives etc. This is 
more or less the opposite than what you are thinking since the server would run 
by default with Trace 4 handling a moderate amount of traffic.

One idea was to extend the way SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 use to increase and decrease 
trace level. We could add a method to set the trace level and could be called 
from e.g., Hooks.

Setting and resetting server trace level based on each incoming request is easy 
but if the server needs to e.g., proxy the requests then the replies from proxy 
and possible retransmissions by the server make things a bit harder if the 
targeted debugging needed to cover those cases too.

Thanks,
Heikki
