Filtering Syslog Messages and Debug Recordings
The device can filter Syslog messages and debug recording (DR) packets, sent by a
designated SIP board to a Syslog server with a packet capturing application (such as
Wireshark) respectively. This feature ensures that CPU consumption is reduced and
an adverse impact upon VoIP performance is minimized.
You can configure up to thirty filtering rules, each based on a selected filtering criteria
(e.g., an IP Group). Each filtering criteria can be configured with a range. For example,
you can filter Syslog messages for IP Groups 1 through 4.
Once you have configured the filters, you can in addition choose to capture specific
Debug recording packets for the filter criteria. For example, you can capture SIP
signaling or signaling and media for IP Groups 1 through 4.
49.2.1
Configuring Filter Rules
The configuration of SIP logging rules is enabled at the Media Gateway level. This to
enable logging filters for the entire Media Gateway. However, a customer can also
specify a VoP board or a number of VoP boards that will be configured with the
current filter rule.
Note:
If you set the 'Enable Syslog' parameter to disable, then no filtering is
performed and therefore all messages are sent to the Syslog server.

SIP Logging

3.
