I don't think you are clear on what you want. If you want to "capture all the messages" it WILL be large and cumbersome. tcpgrp+sip_scenario is a good choice for SIP protocol analysis (or wireshark). You can for example create smaller dump files by restarting tcpdump with a new redirection file every hour or so to make them smaller. ngrep can be found in the SER Getting Started everything package, very good for simple analysis and call traces.

acc will just give you... accounting (i.e. start/stop), so that's maybe not what you want? g-)

Thanks for your reply,

I want to run some automated testing over a weekend or some extended period of time. Ethereal captures tend to get quite large and cumbersome from my experience. I wanted to get a simple interface or use serweb to view them (if that's possible?) so that I don't have to deal with several programs at the same time. And I thought since the data will be stored in MySQL, I can write a simple query to display the data if I needed to.

Thank you for your suggestion. But I would like to see if there is a method I can do it all in SER first.

Thanks, Ben

Why not try Wireshark (former Ethereal)? Or even the tcpdump, which comes with most Linux distributions by default.

Hi,

I am setting up a testing environment with about 100 users. I would like to see who is online/registered, conversation times, protocols, etc. Basically I want to be able to capture all the messages for troubleshooting purposes, durability, compatibility, reliability, etc. Will the acc module do that for me, how do I set it up to capture the data?

Thank you very much,

Ben

The Getting Started scripts package contains a set of scripts you can use for that. g-)

Hi

iam looking the call log of the Call made by the users in SER subscriber

like

1. register
2. failed
3. called history
4. call failed ( reason)
5. more log information for diagnosis the problem

I have facing problem now a days from the user

user says that iam not able to call X number, and he is getting voice breaks so to do diagnosis, we need to ask customer to call again and make a log with ngrep instead, how can i log all information and analyse with out producing the test call again
