Sure you can contact sipcapture directly and pay for support.. they also
will do the whole setup for you

Hi,

 

Thanks everyone – so, I can confirm it looks like no packets are coming from
the server by default, but, running SNGREP with the -H option is producing
them and I can see them both being sent and received, however, nothing is
being populated on the server still. 

 

I’ll contact them and keep my fingers crossed (I couldn’t see any official
support).

 

Thanks,

 

William

Hello,

 

yes Homer is supported and i also run Homer Capture Clients on SPCE and send
it to my Homer Server.

 

I use 

·         rtpengine for RTCP Stats (
<https://github.com/sipcapture/homer/wiki/Examples%3A-RTPEngine>
https://github.com/sipcapture/homer/wiki/Examples%3A-RTPEngine)

·         captagent for SIP packages (
<https://github.com/sipcapture/captagent/wiki/Configuration>
https://github.com/sipcapture/captagent/wiki/Configuration)

·         hepipe for Log (
<https://github.com/sipcapture/homer/wiki/Examples%3A-hepipe.js>
https://github.com/sipcapture/homer/wiki/Examples%3A-hepipe.js)

 

you can also use captagent for RTCP stats also
 this is default if you
install captagent, so you must deactivate RTCP stats in captagent config
files to use just the rtpengine (it is more performance)

 

to check if packages get sent to your homer server you can check this:

 

 

 

all Traffic:

ngrep -W byline port 9060 and host YOUR-HOMER-IP

 

Nur Log Traffic (Hepipe)

ngrep -W byline port 9060 | grep proxy

 

Nur RTCP Stats (rtpengine)

ngrep -W byline port 9060 | grep sender

 

Nur SIP traffic (Captagent)

ngrep -W byline port 9060 | grep sip

 

 

 

AT Homer Server you can do this for checking if something is coming:

ngrep -W byline port 9060 and host YOUR-SPCE-SERVER-IP

William,

 

Are you using a network tap in your hardware configuration?  I haven’t used
homer yet, but I know for doing these kinds of captures it is often
required.  Some Cisco switches have a tap port built in, if you don’t have
this type of hardware try doing a search for Network Tap.  Here are some
that I have used with good results:

 <https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002BSF112> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002BSF112

or

 <https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0175EODCE> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0175EODCE

 

Good luck!

Bill in Seattle

Hi

 

I am trying to diagnose an issue for a client and am getting a bit fed up of
tracing through Wireshark.

 

I have seen Homer for some time and had a few hours spare, so, I thought I
would set it up


 

I edited my config.yml homer section to:

 

homer:

  capture_id: 'homer01'

  capture_pass: 123

  enabled: yes

  host: --homer-ip-address

  port: '9060'

 

“Ngcpcfg build” followed by “ngcp apply homer”

 

I setup a new box, installed Debian and ran the install script as per the
instructions on github. There were a few errors relating to region settings
– but, it looks like everything installed fine (Mysql, Apache etc.).

 

I can see the web interface fine, but, it just doesn’t get populated with
anything.

 

I ran “tcpdump host –homer-ip-address” and couldn’t see anything. I then ran
“sngrep -H udp:--homer-ip-address:9060” along with “ngrep -W byline port
9060” on the Homer server, and, I could see the HEP packets coming through.

 

So, I was wondering:

Is Homer supported on community edition/did I do something wrong? (I wasn’t
sure what capture_pass is / I tried various default passwords)

Has anyone managed to get it work?

Can anyone give me some hints? I can’t see any community/IRC etc.

 

Thanks,

 

William
