asterisk users - Mar 2013 - "sip set debug on" output to file only (not to console)

Hello everybody,

I am trying to find an intermittent SIP error with one provider and thought the
best first step would be to have "sip set debug on" for some days and
check the logs.

Everything gets logged nicely, but the SIP log clutters up the console quite
badly. Is it possible to have SIP debug log go only to the log file and not to
the console?

My logger.conf:

console => notice,warning,error
messages => notice,warning,error
full => notice,warning,error,debug,verbose,dtmf,fax

On the console, I entered:

core set verbose 3
core set debug 0
sip set debug on

Thanks,

You should have a log called full in:

/var/log/asterisk

I guess I should slow down when reading.  Sorry for the noise.

Sure I do and happy with that. :)

The point is, I also have my Asterisk console full of SIP messages and I asked
if it was possible to switch those off.

hi,
open debug only on problematic peer.
sip set debug peer "peer name"
or
sip set debug ip "peer ip"

I recently faced the same issue.  I didn't find a way in Asterisk to do 
what I wanted.

A good workaround is to use wireshark in batch mode (tshark) to trace 
traffic to the IP address you are interested in.  You should be able to 
filter it to capture only SIP traffic.
