How can I filter out specific protocol messages?

When the -trace option is used on the buddy command line, CDRouter will display all protocol related log messages. The -include-proto option can be used to display the protocol family along with the log message.

Log filters can be setup based on the protocol family. A list of all available protocol families is displayed with -protocols option. Use the -hide option to filter out specific protocol families. Also, the -show option can be used to only display specific protocol messages.

BuddyWeb users will find these same options in the 'Advanced' tab under 'Log Files'.

Examples

To filter out ARP messages: 

  # buddy -trace -hide ARP -include-proto

To show only SIP and UDP related messages: 

  # buddy -trace -show SIP,UDP
