[Serusers] Remote Access for SIP trace

Hi Folks,

I'm using SER in a carrier grade mode and I need to create an interface (GUI) to
our support team run SIP traces in our SER box.
I think I have an idea to solve that problem but I don't know if it's the best
one, follow the idea:

SERVER (SER)
1 - Run an application in daemon mode using libpcap to capture traffic on port 5060
 - listening on a TCP port
 - capture traffic all the time
 - push all captured traffic to that TCP port (any one who connect/telnet on
that port can see the traffic - without authentication by now)

CLIENT (GUI)
2 - Developed using JAVA || PHP-GTK || C++ || ....
 - Connect to remote port to listen the traffic
 - Can filter what do you want to see (show only filtered traffic or all)
 - Colorized matches
 - Can save the result of your dump/filter to a file
 - etc

So I did a concept proof...

1 - Wrote a simple server program using Perl who run ngrep in SER box and push
the captured traffic through it's listening TCP port;
2 - Wrote a simple client program using Perl who connect to a remote port and
filter what you want to see or all the traffic;

..and works like a charm :-)

I'd like to hear opnions from SER members about the idea.

Best regards,
