Hi all, I wrote a ruby script. it works for me. The script is in <FS>/scripts/ contrib/seven/sip/. All ideas and suggestions are welcome! Comment in script: Now and then we need to look at sip traces to see want happened on a failed call. There are lots of ways to monitor sip messages. However, not all of them are convinient as we want. Let's say a simple example: FreeSWITCH :> originate sofia/gateways/carrier1/5550000|sofia/gateways/ carrier2/5550000|sofia/carrier3... It's hard to tell what happend if the call fails. Because it's different sip sessions. The idea is to group them in one super session and see what happend. I do this by adding an arbitary sip header to do cross reference. And by parse the sip messages to a DB we can easily show it as html. I even can build a simple graph based on the DB data: http://skitch.com/seven1240/b8xj2/voip-master-idapted You can easily add a sip header to INVITE by(I use x_interaction): FreeSWITCH :> originate {sip_h_x_interaction=TEST0001}sofia/ gateways/..... And I can get all the messages from DB: SELECT * FROM `sip_messages` WHERE (call_id IN (SELECT distinct call_id FROM sip_messages WHERE x_interaction = 'TEST0001')) ORDER BY created_at; There are two aproches to get sip packets: 1) tcpdump/tshark 2) FreeSWITCH I use the second. Note, there is no way to actually get sip messages from FS currently, but sofia-sip has the ability to log all sip messages to a disk file by using TPORT_DUMP And you can use this script to parse them to a DB. I know it hurt performance, but we don't have tons of traffic and you know there are only 5-10 messages for each sip call. While we get about 1G bytes each day in the sip log, most of them are OPTIONS/NOTIFY etc. I filtered them before inserting to DB, but it will be better if sofia- sip can filter that :) The script will monitor the log file and parse and insert to DB in real time. It's written in the Ruby on Rails framework, however, I think it can run out of Rails with or without modification. But you still need ruby and rubygems if you want to use it. on Ubuntu/Debian # apt-get install ruby rubygems # gem install mysql file-tail yaml It's just an idea, you may like to write your own tools to parse the sip log file. Also the log file need to be rotated regularly. And I think it maybe possible to store the log file on a memory disk, whatever... :) Best -Seven.
