Hi Noa,
Then, direct the output to a custom log file for easy viewing. Set the
syslog logging facility to, say, LOG_LOCAL0, and then redirect the
LOCAL0 facility in your syslog daemon to a separate file, e.g. in the
case of /etc/rsyslog.conf or Debian-style /etc/sysklogd.conf or classic
/etc/syslog.conf:
local0.* -/var/log/kamailio.log
Hello
The - in front of the path means that syslog logging is performed
asynchronous, which is very useful(read mandatory) if you plan to use
logging and kamailio in anything except a basic test case.
If you want a trace of the messages you can use ngrep:
`ngrep -W byline -d any sip port 5060 ` where "sip" is a regex to match
and "port 5060" is a pcap expression (see tcpdump as well)

Then restart the syslog daemon, restart Kamailio, and
see if you like
what you get.
Cheers,

Is there a way to get a sensible amount of
logging done from kamailio?
Being new to the VoIP space (but with plenty of experience with i.e. web
and email servers) I tried to get a running system by installing the
kamailio package and starting up, trying to get it to behave by looking
at log output. I use the blink SIP client in OSX, that has a SIP data
dump log view and from that I can deduce that the server returns
"SIP/2.0 483 Too Many Hops", however there is nothing helpful in the
server logs.
If I set debug=2 i get nothing useful, and if I set debug=3 I get insane
amounts of logging, thousands of lines per connection attempt. Finding
something meaningful in there seems like a herculean task.
/noa
ps. The actual problem with 483 Too Many Hops sounded a lot like 'Mail
loops back to myself' that you get on smtp servers when the relevant
virtual domain is not configured, so it seems I was able to handle that
problem by adding WITH_MULTIDOMAIN and configuring my domain with kamctl
domain add. Now I get "482 Loop Detected" instead, which seems like a
non-fatal condition. The logging question still stands though.
