FreeRadius is 3 time quicker when running in full debug mode ( -X option)
Dear Freeradius User list, I am surprised by the fact that freeRadius (Version 2.0.4) is 3 time quicker when running in full debug mode ( -X option). When running freeradius I full debug mode /usr/sbin/freeradius –X I have good response time from remote client were between 200 and 210 ms. But when I launched freeradius without debugging (with exact same configuration): /usr/sbin/freeradius Or /etc/init.d/freeradius start the response time increase to 600ms It is usually the opposite where turning off debugging should increase response speed . Does any body have an explanation? Or any clue to improve performance on non debug Mode ? Thanks in advance for your support. Vincent - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Use a syslog server that doesn't kill performance, like rsyslog. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html

Alan, Many thanks for your answer, I had a look to syslog and it seems that my server is already using rsyslog: ps -elf | grep syslog 5 S root 1963 1 0 80 0 - 7041 - Mar20 ? 00:01:56 /usr/sbin/rsyslogd -c3 I also try to print directly on stdout : destination = stdout Or in files And this doesn't realy change anything. I also tried to reduce logging as much as possible for example by commenting : #auth_log but it doesn't realy help too. Looking forward to any clue that will help me to reduce this response time, Thanks, Vincent On Mon, Sep 7, 2009 at 12:59 PM, Alan DeKokal...@deployingradius.com wrote: Vincent Laborie wrote: I am surprised by the fact that freeRadius (Version 2.0.4) is 3 time quicker when running in full debug mode ( -X option).

Usually it's the other way around, because of all the extrea output that debug mode has. I also try to print directly on stdout : destination = stdout Or in files And this doesn't realy change anything. Then the problem is elsewhere.
