is there a way to add debug statements in kamailio.cfg? I'd like to be able to dump some of the variables and also see which path the calls are taking. thanks
You can set the 'debug' core config parameter to something higher than 2. But be warned that even 3 is very verbose. Start there:
debug=3

does this get logged to a file too or just the console? i've tried checking /var/log/syslog but it doesn't contain the same entries that are shown on the console. thanks.

I find that raising the debug level only helps when I have issues with connections to 3rd party systems, like LDAP, Radius and databases. Otherwise, XLOG is your best friend.
Kamailio logging goes to the syslog.

To see which lines from configuration file are executed per sip message, set cfgtrace parameter for debugger module.

What you really want is to add your own debugging using the xlog module. Look at the documentation for that module, the example configuration for Kamailio and the power of pseudovariables in the pseudovariable cookbok on the documentation web site.

Olle I've added some debug statements using the XLOG function like so:
xlog("L_INFO", "my custom message");
but none of my debug statements appear in syslog. I don't get any errors either when I restart kamailio. any suggestion? I am loading the module in kamailio.cfg... I see a line that says "loadmodule xlog.so" and i've also added a modparam for the log like so:
modparam("xlog", "buf_size", 8192)
Thank you.

Do you have log_facaility set?
log_facility=LOG_LOCAL0
From there, I would suggest looking at your syslog configuration and verify
that your chosen facility is routed to a file.
Corey
yep, i do. I have the following entries in my config: modparam("xlog", "log_facility", "LOG_DAEMON")
and closer to the top of the file i have log_facility=LOG_LOCAL0

Start kamailio in the foreground with "-D 1 -E" and you'll see the log messages on your console if Kamailio runs. If you haven't got a listen address in the config, you might want to add a "-l <param>" to force kamailio to listen to the right IP address (replace <param> with a listen address, run "kamailio -h" for docs).
/O
Here's a copy of my cfg file: http://pastebin.com/GtDwWKWr I tried to run with the switches you mentioned... but i still don't get anything logged to syslog. ? sorry... and thanks for your patience.

Does anyone have any other suggestions / ideas on what I might be doing wrong / missing? I can't any log entries to show up in my syslog file. I'm trying to add custom messages to debug a specific scenario... I prefer to log it to a file instead of to the console because there's a lot of debug data on the console and it's hard to scroll through.
thanks.
