1. 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.
kamctl fifo sip_capture on
kamctl fifo sip_capture off

3.1. db_url (str)
Database URL.
Default value is "".
Example 1.1. Set db_url parameter

...
3.2. table_name (str)
Name of the table's name where to store the SIP messages.
Default value is "sip_capture".
Example 1.2. Set sip_capture parameter
...
modparam("sipcapture", "table_name", "homer_capture")
...
3.3. db_insert_mode (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).
Example 1.3. db_insert_mode example
modparam("sipcapture", "db_insert_mode", 1)
3.4. capture_on (integer)
Parameter to enable/disable capture globaly (on(1)/off(0))
Default value is "0".
Example 1.4. Set capture_on parameter
...
modparam("sipcapture", "capture_on", 1)
...
3.5. hep_capture_on (integer)
Parameter to enable/disable capture of HEP (on(1)/off(0))
Default value is "0".
Example 1.5. Set hep_capture_on parameter
...
modparam("sipcapture", "hep_capture_on", 1)
...
3.6. raw_ipip_capture_on (integer)
Parameter to enable/disable IPIP capturing (on(1)/off(0))
Default value is "0".
Example 1.6. Set raw_ipip_capture_on parameter
...
modparam("sipcapture", "raw_ipip_capture_on", 1)
...
3.7. raw_moni_capture_on (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".
Example 1.7. Set raw_moni_capture_on parameter
...
modparam("sipcapture", "raw_moni_capture_on", 1)
...
3.8. raw_socket_listen (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 "".
Example 1.8. Set raw_socket_listen parameter
...
modparam("sipcapture", "raw_socket_listen", "10.0.0.1:5060-5090")
...
modparam("sipcapture", "raw_socket_listen", "10.0.0.1:5060")
...
3.9. raw_interface (string)
Name of the interface to bind on the raw socket.
Default value is "".
Example 1.9. Set raw_socket_listen parameter
...
modparam("sipcapture", "raw_interface", "eth0")
...
3.10. raw_sock_children (integer)
Parameter define how much children must be created to listen the raw
socket.
Default value is "1".
Example 1.10. Set raw_socket_listen parameter
...
modparam("sipcapture", "raw_sock_children", 6)
...
3.11. promiscuous_on (integer)
Parameter to enable/disable promiscuous mode on the raw socket. Linux
only.
Default value is "0".
Example 1.11. Set hep_capture_on parameter
...
modparam("sipcapture", "promiscuous_on", 1)
...
3.12. raw_moni_bpf_on (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".
Example 1.12. Set raw_moni_bpf_on parameter
...
modparam("sipcapture", "raw_moni_bpf_on", 1)
...
3.13. capture_node (str)
Name of the capture node.
Default value is "homer01".
Example 1.13. Set capture_node parameter
...
modparam("sipcapture", "capture_node", "homer03")
...
4. MI Commands
4.1. sip_capture
4.1. sip_capture
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_
5. 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,
http://www.kamailio.org/docs/db-tables/kamailio-db-devel.html.
6. 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.
