To enable the logging of the SIP packets on the STARFACE, the following steps must be performed:Connect via ssh to STARFACE- Login with the root user (see also "Password for the Root User")
- Enter command "asterisk -rvvvv" (without quotation marks) and confirm with Enter key
- Enable logging of SIP packets
Various commands are available for activating the SIP packet logging:| Syntax | Beschreibung |
|---|---|
| sip set debug | Logging of all received and sent SIP packets (up to version 5 of STARFACE) |
| sip set debug on | Logging of all received and sent SIP packets (from version 6 of STARFACE) |
| sip set debug ip IP-Adresse | Only SIP packets received from the IP address and sent to the IP address will be logged. |
sip set debug peer Peer-Name | Only SIP packets received by this peer and sent to this peer are logged. |
sip set debug off | Deactivation of the entire SIP logging |
The SIP packets are written in the PBX logfile of the STARFACE and can be read there without a special analyzer. The current PBX log file can always be found in the file "full" in the directory:
/var/log/asterisk/
The SIP packages can also be viewed in the full logfile in the STARFACE web interface (see also "Viewing Log Files on the STARFACE Web Interface").
Note: The activated SIP logging writes large amounts of data into the PBX logfile, so it is recommended that logging should only be activated in a targeted manner and not run continuously.
