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...

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.
