It describes the command language from an external source point of view ( if I 
read correctly ).. not from the Radiator server itself.

What the challenge is we want to monitor the Radius servers from another source 
such as Nagios, Whatsup Gold etc.  We were looking at Radar and as impressive 
as it is,
it does not store the data historically, which is what our requirements are.  
The SNMP side of the monitoring does not give us the complete picture, as it 
there is no oid for
the "Response Time" value that Radar <-> Monitor <-> StatsLog provides unless I 
am missing something.  So, what we have done in the past is created a local 
custom SNMP variable through various means for us to
monitor and collect stats from other systems.  We could parse through the 
StatsLog, however, this requires a fair bit of logic and programming and not to 
mention timing.

Having tested the Monitor command language running the command "STATS ." we 
find we can parse the values simply.  In order for us to define a custom SNMP 
oid variable
we need to be able to run this locally on the server itself.

If there is a way that Radar could provide historical and / or write the values 
into a log file for extraction would be easier.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time and input
