I know another approach has been to:
a) Run tcpdump continously (or when tracing is required) and dump to a file
b) Use sip_analyze to generate the SIP trace in HTML and make it available
c) Make an HTML interface to sip_analyze where various filters could be set
It's a nice idea!
What's sip_analyze?
Thanks for your reply.
This way a simple html form can be used to create a
trace. The drawback
is the tcpdump file, but you could use rotatelogs and clean up old dumps
in cron.
This is one of the things that many people would like (or would benefit
from) and I'm working on a debugging "framework" for the onsip.org
Getting Started configs and such a setup would be useful. I would be
interested to hear from anyone who have a working setup and who would
like to contribute their code to open source.

Hi Folks,
I'm using SER in a carrier grade mode and I need to create an
interface (GUI) to
our support team run SIP traces in our SER box.
I think I have an idea to solve that problem but I don't know if it's
the best
one, follow the idea:
SERVER (SER)
1 - Run an application in daemon mode using libpcap to capture
traffic on port 5060
- listening on a TCP port
- capture traffic all the time
- push all captured traffic to that TCP port (any one who
connect/telnet on
that port can see the traffic - without authentication by now)

CLIENT (GUI)
2 - Developed using JAVA || PHP-GTK || C++ || ....
- Connect to remote port to listen the traffic
- Can filter what do you want to see (show only filtered traffic or all)
- Colorized matches
- Can save the result of your dump/filter to a file
- etc

So I did a concept proof...
1 - Wrote a simple server program using Perl who run ngrep in SER box
and push
the captured traffic through it's listening TCP port;
2 - Wrote a simple client program using Perl who connect to a remote
port and
filter what you want to see or all the traffic;
..and works like

I'd like to hear opnions from SER members about the idea.
