<p dir="ltr">You won't see anything in the Asterisk logs because there's nothing to log. The error happens in the freeradius-client library and returns an integer.</p>

I suspect that asterisk has problems to deal with the radiusclient in some<br>
way. Therefore it cannot contact the radius server. There should be some<br>
clue in the log files of asterisk, other than ``Unable to create RADIUS<br>
record. CDR not recorded''<br>
<br>
As a last resort, extra debug info from the source code can be invoked by<br>
printf commands. But this involves some work.<br>
