+### configuration
+
+Sample:
+
+```yaml
+local:
+  host       : 'localhost'
+  port       : '18121'
+  secret     : 'adminsecret'
+  acct       : False # Freeradius accounting statistics.
+  proxy_auth : False # Freeradius proxy authentication statistics.
+  proxy_acct : False # Freeradius proxy accounting statistics.
+```
+
+**Freeradius server configuration:**
+
+The configuration for the status server is automatically created in the sites-available directory.
+By default, server is enabled and can be queried from every client.
+FreeRADIUS will only respond to status-server messages, if the status-server virtual server has been enabled.
+
+To do this, create a link from the sites-enabled directory to the status file in the sites-available directory:
+ * cd sites-enabled
+ * ln -s ../sites-available/status status
+
+and restart/reload your FREERADIUS server.
