Tracing a Session Initiation Protocol proxy server

We can trace a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) proxy server, starting either immediately or after the next server startup.

To trace a SIP proxy server...

 

1. Start WAS ND, and open the admin console.

2. In the admin console, click Troubleshooting > Logs and trace .

3. Select the name of the server for the SIP proxy server.

4. From the General Properties section, click Diagnostic Trace Service.

5. Select one of the following options:

   Option	Description
   Configuration	To start tracing after the next server startup
   Runtime	To start tracing immediately

6. Replace the content of the trace specification with the following code: *=info:com.ibm.ws.sip.*=all:com.ibm.ws.proxy.*=all.

7. Make sure that the Enable trace with following spec check box is checked.

8. Click Apply > Save.

 

Next steps

When the changes take effect, SIP proxy server tracing messages display in WASProductDir/logs/serverName/trace.log on the SIP proxy server node, where WASProductDir is the fully-qualified path name of the directory where WAS is installed and serverName is the name of the specific instance of the appserver that is running the SIP proxy server to be traced.
