Hello,

I am a bit confused now. sipcapture role is to store the SIP signaling messages in database for the purpose of later analysis -- you can export pcap from the database later.

Well, I don't have enough experience with sipcapture module but (maybe I'm wrong) I don't think it is a good idea to store so huge data in mysql in high loading environment.
Rather that I would suggest to keep them in some flat databases, like mongo, redis, kassandra, etc...
Eventually, by looking to the sources, I don't think there is another way except mysql...

What is the obsolete logging system you think about?

If you look to log custom info messages, then see the xlog module:

* http://kamailio.org/docs/modules/3.3.x/modules_k/xlog.html

You can print your own message to syslog (or stderr), in the format you wish.

Yes, I'm using syslog but personally it's a backward way.
Nowadays there is a lot of logging frameworks. I think that, unofficial, log4XXXX (where XXXX - one of c, cpp, java, python, etc) already a standard of
logging system.
When using syslog/logrotate - the only one way to modify a root settings, no way to configure only userland part by configuring a logging strategy inside application
like a many software allows.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello Daniel,

No I don't want to store in pcap format, I have it already.
I would like to have a text logs instead of database.

About log format, I would like to have a functionality like log4cpp, for example:

# Call Logging
log4cplus.appender.CALL_LOG_APPENDER=log4cplus::NullAppender
log4cplus.appender.CALL_LOG_APPENDER.Directory=logs/call-logs
log4cplus.appender.CALL_LOG_APPENDER.ImmediateFlush=true
log4cplus.appender.CALL_LOG_APPENDER.layout=log4cplus::PatternLayout
log4cplus.appender.CALL_LOG_APPENDER.layout.ConversionPattern=%D{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S:%%q} [%t] %p - %c : %m%n

I'm a very curious why we still have so absolete logging system ? There are too many cute logging frameworks.
Why we don't switch to some soft of log4c or log4cpp ?

Hello,

Is it possible to log SIP sessions using sipcapture module to log files by log format instead of database ?

what do you mean by log format?

If you just want to store pure pcap files, then you can use tools such as ngrep, wireshark/tshark.

Cheers,
Daniel
