asterisk users - Feb 2004 - SIP debug logs

This strikes me as something that should be really very simple to do, but I
can't figure it out.

Is there a way of logging all SIP debuging info to a file somewhere?

It would help me greatly!

Cheers,
Steve

Or you could modify the logger and have all SIP messages set at a different
log level and have them go to a file (/var/log/messages/sip) for example.

I dont know if it's possible using asterisk. You can use the command 
'script -a <filename>' that will record everything at the prompt.

Might take a look at /etc/asterisk/logger.conf file to see if that's what
you're looking for. Seems to me I added the debug level some time ago to
diagnose a specific problem,  and the /var/log/asterisk/debug log file 
grew large very quickly and included a ton of detail.

Use tethereal or tcpdump to log sip (and/or rtp/rtcp) packets to a
pcap file, then use ethereal (presumably on a different box) to view
them.
