Overview Offer a possibility to store incoming/outgoing SIP messages in database. Kamailio can capture SIP messages in three mode IPIP encapsulation. (ETHHDR+IPHDR+IPHDR+UDPHDR). Monitoring/mirroring port. Homer encapsulation protocl mode (HEP v1). The capturing can be turned on/off using fifo commad. &ctltool; fifo sip_capture on &ctltool; fifo sip_capture off
Dependencies
&kamailio; Modules The following modules must be loaded before this module: database module - mysql, postrgress, dbtext, unixodbc...
External Libraries or Applications The following libraries or applications must be installed before running &kamailio; with this module loaded: None.
Parameters
<varname>db_url</varname> (str) Database URL. Default value is "". Set <varname>db_url</varname> parameter ... modparam("sipcapture", "db_url", "mysql://user:passwd@host/dbname") ...
<varname>table_name</varname> (str) Name of the table's name where to store the SIP messages. Default value is "sip_capture". Set <varname>sip_capture</varname> parameter ... modparam("sipcapture", "table_name", "homer_capture") ...
<varname>db_insert_mode</varname> (integer) If set to 1, use INSERT DELAYED to store sip message into capture table when the DB driver has support for it. If no INSERT DELAYED support is offered by DB driver, then standard INSERT is used. Default value is 0 (no INSERT DELAYED). db_insert_mode example modparam("sipcapture", "db_insert_mode", 1)
<varname>capture_on</varname> (integer) Parameter to enable/disable capture globaly (on(1)/off(0)) Default value is "0". Set <varname>capture_on</varname> parameter ... modparam("sipcapture", "capture_on", 1) ...
<varname>hep_capture_on</varname> (integer) Parameter to enable/disable capture of HEP (on(1)/off(0)) Default value is "0". Set <varname>hep_capture_on</varname> parameter ... modparam("sipcapture", "hep_capture_on", 1) ...
<varname>raw_ipip_capture_on</varname> (integer) Parameter to enable/disable IPIP capturing (on(1)/off(0)) Default value is "0". Set <varname>raw_ipip_capture_on</varname> parameter ... modparam("sipcapture", "raw_ipip_capture_on", 1) ...
<varname>raw_moni_capture_on</varname> (integer) Parameter to enable/disable monitoring/mirroring port capturing (on(1)/off(0)) Only one mode on raw socket can be enabled! Monitoring port capturing currently supported only on Linux. Default value is "0". Set <varname>raw_moni_capture_on</varname> parameter ... modparam("sipcapture", "raw_moni_capture_on", 1) ...
<varname>raw_socket_listen</varname> (string) Parameter indicate an listen IP address of RAW socket for IPIP capturing. You can also define a port/portrange for IPIP/Mirroring mode, to capture SIP messages in specific ports: "10.0.0.1:5060" - the source/destination port of the SIP message must be equal 5060 "10.0.0.1:5060-5090" - the source/destination port of the SIP message must be equal or be between 5060 and 5090. The port/portrange must be defined if you are planning to use mirroring capture! In this case, the part with IP address will be ignored, but to make parser happy, use i.e. 10.0.0.0 Default value is "". Set <varname>raw_socket_listen</varname> parameter ... modparam("sipcapture", "raw_socket_listen", "10.0.0.1:5060-5090") ... modparam("sipcapture", "raw_socket_listen", "10.0.0.1:5060") ...
<varname>raw_interface</varname> (string) Name of the interface to bind on the raw socket. Default value is "". Set <varname>raw_socket_listen</varname> parameter ... modparam("sipcapture", "raw_interface", "eth0") ...
<varname>raw_sock_children</varname> (integer) Parameter define how much children must be created to listen the raw socket. Default value is "1". Set <varname>raw_socket_listen</varname> parameter ... modparam("sipcapture", "raw_sock_children", 6) ...
<varname>promiscuous_on</varname> (integer) Parameter to enable/disable promiscuous mode on the raw socket. Linux only. Default value is "0". Set <varname>hep_capture_on</varname> parameter ... modparam("sipcapture", "promiscuous_on", 1) ...
<varname>raw_moni_bpf_on</varname> (integer) Activate Linux Socket Filter (LSF based on BPF) on the mirroring interface. The structure is defined in linux/filter.h. The default LSF accept a port/portrange from the raw_socket_listen param. Currently LSF supported only on Linux. Default value is "0". Set <varname>raw_moni_bpf_on</varname> parameter ... modparam("sipcapture", "raw_moni_bpf_on", 1) ...
<varname>capture_node</varname> (str) Name of the capture node. Default value is "homer01". Set <varname>capture_node</varname> parameter ... modparam("sipcapture", "capture_node", "homer03") ...
MI Commands
<function moreinfo="none">sip_capture</function> Name: sip_capture Parameters: capture_mode : turns on/off SIP message capturing. Possible values are: on off The parameter is optional - if missing, the command will return the status of the SIP message capturing (as string on or off ) without changing anything. MI FIFO Command Format: :sip_capture:_reply_fifo_file_ capture_mode _empty_line_
Database setup Before running &kamailio; with sipcapture, you have to setup the database tables where the module will store the data. For that, if the table were not created by the installation script or you choose to install everything by yourself you can use the sipcapture_create.sql, SQL script in the sql folder of sipcapture module as template. You can also find the complete database documentation on the project webpage, &kamailiodbdocslink;.
Limitation 1. Only one capturing mode on RAW socket is supported: IPIP or monitoring/mirroring port. Don't activate both at the same time. 2. By default MySQL doesn't support INSERT DELAYED for partitioning table. You can patch MySQL (http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=50393) 3. Mirroring port capturing works only on Linux.
