Hi Nick,
I haven't used Radius with CDRTool so not very sure how the patch effects
OpenSIPS accounting events triggered to Radius. We are using
much sophisticated business logic with integrated VLR and HRL along with
call billing with respect to national and international roaming cases.
Anyhow all you need to do to get failed transactions events in Radius
server, is to set failed_transaction_flag on those transactions, e.g.
modparam("acc", "aaa_flag", 1)
modparam("acc", "failed_transaction_flag", 3)
...
if ((is_method("INVITE") && !has_totag()) || (is_method("BYE"))) {
setflag(1);
setflag(3);
};
...
Then you should get failed transaction events on Radius regardless of
failure reason, e.g. no-answer (480), cancel (487), busy (486) or even
request timeout (408) and so on. This things works out of the box without
patching Radius and / or OpenSIPS.
Thank you.
