SIP Extract Trace Troubleshooting Tool by rothoma2 *Beta*

[Robert Thomas]

Hello,

Abstract.

Please find below a tool to simplify the extraction of SIP Messages of a CUCM Trace. This could be usefull for debugging and troubleshooting purposes. This tool is developed by myself and provided 'AS-IS' with best effort support. Notice this is not funded/supported actively by TAC or any BU. This was initially developed at TAC to expedite trace analysis and resolution however I have decided to extend the audience. There are multiple tools that might follow up this initial release.

Features.

• Parse SDI Traces to extract all messages related to a Call-ID, or CUCM CI.
• Generate Summary Graph of SIP Interactions.
• Indicate Direction of Message, Time and IP Address involved.
• Fast Lookup speed thorugh regular expressions.
• GUI and Simple to use.
• NSI based installer, without admin rights required.

Screenshots

Steps to Use:

• Install using the intuitive installer found at the download section.
• Open the Application.
• From Menu File -> Open Folder, select the folder with the uncompressed traces. The tool will lookup recursively (all folders down) to find files.
• Input the SIP Call-ID, or CI for the call you want to extract. You have to obtain this before (we have another tool to this comming soon).
• Click find and wait while files are been parsed.
• You should get two tab with the summary of the call and the complete message.

Versioning.

For Win7 (64-bit) the programm does not work, set an administrator.

Sees no files (SDI, SDL for 8.6), no from CUCM 7.1, no from CUCM 8.6.

It's a pity (((

Is this similiar to TranslatorX?

translatorx.cisco.com

I have noticed that since a few weeks ago, the above link no longer works.

[Robert Thomas]

TranslatorX has a purpose, but it's also very broad as it supports multiple protocols. This tool is optimized to extract a SIP dialog out of a large amount of trace files very quickly and it's all it does. I'm planning on adding some aditional features and additional protocols.
