I use pcapsipdump. It has the added advantage of splitting the captures into individual calls

I want to capture all SIP messages.

I have about 30 hosts in about 6 colos.

My first thought was dumpcap, but the output file name format bugs me.

What do you use for long term SIP capture?
A little more specificity...

I'd like the capture to be in a series of files that can be 'rotated' or
'aged out' so that I can always have x days of traffic on hand but not
have to prune the files to keep the storage requirements reasonable.
On most of my systems I have a script sip-capture:

---
#!/bin/sh

DATE=`date '+%Y%m%d-%H%M%S'`
FILE=sip-`hostname -s`-$DATE.pkt

cd /var/tmp

tcpdump -C 8 -i any -n -p -s 0 -w $FILE udp port 5060 </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 
&
---

I start it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local for want of anywhere better.

Being in /var/tmp, cron.daily/tmpwatch deletes files older than 30 days.
I could just have easily put them somewhere else and used the -W option
to tcpdump to remove old files on a rolling basis.

Cheers
Tony
