Monitoring Pending RADIUS Accounting Stop Messages
Purpose
Display information about RADIUS accounting stop messages that are being withheld due to an inability to contact the RADIUS accounting server.
Action
When you want to know whether the number of pending accounting-stop messages is nearing the maximum, you can display a simple count of pending requests:
user@host> show network-access aaa statistics
pending-accounting-stopsPending accounting stops: 10,000
You can use other commands to display more information about the accounting messages. The next example displays information for all services in the accounting session for the user, vjshah29@example.com. Although this example shows only one user, this command actually displays the information for all subscribers for whom accounting is being backed up.

You can display summary information for all users with a particular access profile. In the following example, only a single user, vjshah29@example.com, has the specified access profile, ce-ppp-profile:
user@host> show accounting pending-accounting-stops ce-ppp-profileType: Username: Session ID: Service ID: Service pppoe vjshah29@example.com 84 pppoe vjshah29@example.com 84 94 cos-service pppoe vjshah29@example.com 84 93 filter-service pppoe vjshah29@example.com 84 95 filter-service6
You can also display summary information for all subscribers that have accounting-stop messages pending, regardless of access profile. The next example displays information for two users. Because the subscriber larry@example.com is not shown in the previous example, he must have a different access profile than vjshah29@example.com, even though he has received the same services.
