While testing I noticed a strange behavior. Usually when activated, `sipdump.enable 1` for the specific interface will dump needed logs and captures to `/tmp/`.
After stopping the dump with `sipdump.enable 0` deleting all captures starting with `kamailio.*` under `/tmp/` and reactivating the dump with `sipdump.enable 1` without restarting kamailio, the service will not create new captures under `/tmp/`.
This behavior was reproducible.
@53c70r -- are you deleting files and enabling within the rotation period?
The [default rotation period](https://www.kamailio.org/docs/modules/stable/modules/sipdump.html#sipdump.p....) is 3600s.
I would assume the file is not recreated within the rotation period and you should either delete files outside the rotation period or wait until the period has passed.
I've tested and this seems to be the issue. If I lower the rotation period, delete the files, and restart the new files are created **after** the rotation period has passed.
I don't believe this to be a bug and would recommend that you not delete the file within the rotation period if you wish to continue sipdump within that same period.
Closed #3798 as completed.
Closing.
