You can save individual calls with voipmonitor too, and it save the info in a mysql db, allowing you to search the pcap files easily. Marcelo H.

What bugs you about the output format? There are multiple ways to display stored information, wireshark can be extremely usefull (and unstable) or just dump plain text by replaying the pcap with ngrep. Ways I used so far: -tshark to produce pcap file (-b duration:x to split up files into time intervals -"sip set log on" to store it plain text in asterisk log files (or pjsip set logger on) -ngrep -W byline to store it in Will look into in the near future: -Homer via res_hep_pjsip -voipmonitor (didn't know about till just now thanks to Marks reply) -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- Check out the new Asterisk community forum at: https://community.asterisk.org/ New to Asterisk?
