[SR-Users] Using Sip-Router Logging & Register Problem Problem

Hi Faisal,

You say you added to syslog.conf: local1.* -/var/log/kamailio

Is that exactly how it appears? If so, I think you need to remove the
hyphen so it becomes: local1.* /var/log/kamailio

As Sammy said, don't forget to restart syslog.

Regards,

Charles

Did you restart your syslog ? Add xlog lines in yur config when you
receive a REGISTER request so that it actually prints something out.

        Hi  Daniel/ Sammy ,
        
        I made the changes in config as suggested (i.e. move the define
        variables at the top of the file rather then in the middle)
        Regarding setting debug=3 => I am setting WITH_DEBUG in the
        config file so based on processing of this symbol I believe
        debug=4 is set.#
        
        
        For the log facility in the kamailio.cfg I have set the
        option log_facility=LOG_LOCAL1
        
        
        & in my syslog.cfg (attached again) I have set the following
        local1.* -/var/log/kamailio
        
        
        but still I dont see any logs in this location when I start
        kamailio
        
        
        I can see the kamailio process - (in total there are 19
        processes here is the root process all other are child processes
        of this process) 
        kamailio  3375     1  0 08:06 ?
         00:00:00 /usr/local/sbin/kamailio -P /var/run/kamailio.pid -m
        32 -M 4 -u kamailio -g kamailio
        
        
        I can also see kamailio starting to listen on port 5060 port on
        the local machine on both UDP & TCP interfaces
        
        
        I am using an xlite phone on windows to attempt to register - on
        my Kamailio VM (using UDP) I started a tcpdump to see if I am
        receiving the Register messages - I can see the register packets
        coming to the Kamailio hosts from the phone - but I dont see any
        responses from Kamailio.
        
        
        Also as there are no logs I dont know what is going wrong.
        Regards,
        Faisal

                Hi Faisal,
                
                
                
                You say you've seen packets on kamailio but kamailio
                isn't replying !! 
                
                
                1- Please verify that yuor kamailio is indeed started
                 [ps -ef | grep kamailio]
                2- Verify if kamailio is actuallay listening on the same
                port as you are sending pcakets to ! [netstat -pln|grep
                kamailio]
                3- Verify if your kamailio is using the same protocol as
                of your client i.e TCP or UDP or TLS etc.
                4- instead of viewing the file /var/log/kamailio
                see /var/log/messages because you haven't mentioned
                local7 as Log facility in your config.
                I don't see your syslog.conf  file in this mail! check
                that file and follow the referenced link completely.
                
                
                Also see your configurations kamailio.cfg file and use
                define tags from second line from top onward i.e just
                after #!KAMAILIO.
                 Try getting rid of the comment line "####### Defined
                Values #########" - in my experience such comment before
                define cause trouble with configurations.
                
                
                
                
                See all these and then reply with updates.
                
                
                Regards,
                Sammy G.

                        Hello,
                        
                        you can set debug=3 in kamailio config to see
                        very verbose debug messages. If you don't get
                        any, means the request does not reach the
                        application layer, meaning you have a firewall
                        in place that drops the packets from the
                        network.
                        
                        Cheers,
