Tracing a SIP container
You can trace a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) container, starting either immediately or after the next server startup. This tracing writes a record of SIP events to a log file.
Overview
Follow these steps to start tracing a SIP container:
Procedure
- Open the administrative console.
- In the console, click Troubleshooting > Logs and trace .
- Select the name of the server for the SIP container.
- From the General Properties section, click Diagnostic Trace Service.
- Under the Additional Properties section, click Change Log Detail Levels
- Select one of the following options:
Option Description Configuration To start tracing after the next server startup Runtime To start tracing immediately
- Replace the content of the trace specification with the following code: com.ibm.ws.sip.*=all=enabled.
If you want monitor only specific pieces of SIP containers, expand the com.ibm.ws.sip section and select the individual items you wish to trace.
- Verify the Enable trace with following specification check box is checked.
- Click Apply > Save.
What to do next
When the changes take effect (refer to step 6 above), SIP-level tracing messages appear in WASProductDir/logs/serverName/trace.log, where WASProductDir is the fully qualified path name of the directory in which the product is installed and serverName is the name of the specific instance of the appserver that is running the SIP container to be traced. These messages include application load events as well as SIP request and response parsing and SIP servlet invocation.
