Enabling RADIUS metrics in Django project

Note

If you're unsure about what "Django settings" are, you can refer to How to Edit Django Settings in OpenWISP for guidance.

You can enable the monitoring integration by including openwisp_radius.integrations.monitoring in INSTALLED_APPS of your Django project's settings as following:

# In your_project/settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS.append("openwisp_radius.integrations.monitoring")

Note

Ensure your Django project is correctly configured to utilize OpenWISP Monitoring. For production environments, it is advisable to deploy OpenWISP using Ansible OpenWISP or Docker OpenWISP, as they simplify the deployment process considerably.

Important

If you are registering a "registration method" in any other Django application, then openwisp_radius.integrations.monitoring should come after that app in the INSTALLED_APPS. Otherwise, the registration method would not appear in the chart.
