Hello,

We are a heavy Homer/Hepic (tks QXIP team) users and on our setup, there are some SIP methods we don’t want to get into the database or send to the capture server because there’s no value-added for call troubleshooting purposes (OPTIONS, KDMQ, HTTP (from JSONRPC)…)

Typically we achieve the message filtering using siptrace in “manual” mode and control what to send from the script. This works fine for some situations, but there are a few we need to have the automatic mode on:

• topos enabled: using manual mode we don’t get the “wire” version of the signaling

• TCP connections: there are a few situations where the destination port is traced with 0 - I believe this is due to the fact the TCP socket not established when the message is collected

There are other technics to filter like using a HEP relay proxy dropping unwanted traffic, but having a native kamailio functionality would make things much easier. With that in mind, I’ve created a PR (#2374) that allows to blacklist methods we don’t want to send to the capture server when using automatic trace mode. I believe this is a very helpful change for the community as well.

To block SIP OPTIONS and KDMQ we just need to declare a new modparam:

modparam("siptrace", "trace_on", 1)

modparam("siptrace", "methods_blacklist_auto", 16896)

Let me know what you think about it.
