I ended up SNMP polling my Aruba controllers for their stat information. As I don’t run our RADIUS systems, getting comparable stats from them is a bit challanging. The RADIUS server stats I have access to are in number of requests, where the Aruba MIB offers stats by complete auth. You can

Hmm, I am interested to hear how you might accomplish that. My first instinct is to port mirror the controller to a large enough box to handle the traffic and have a filter looking for port 1645/1812 (whatever your RADIUS AUTH port is) so you only capture that traffic (I would use tcpdump). Then
