In general the probability of crash is low; because Kamailio is a well-tested piece of software. But in cases when it happens log files contain a good load of information about it's reason; also Kamailio will generate core dumps for you. You can refer to this address to see information about how Kamailio can generate core dumps for you in case of crash. In order to analyze these core-dumps you can use gdb like this:

gdb $kamailio_binary $core_file

For more information about gdb refer to this address. It worths mentioning that you can even debug you configuration using debugger module. So if you think something is wrong in your configuration you can use this module.

  • Thank you ,very useful . Can you please guide me if you can for storing a failed log . example : If some client call and his/her sip call is getting cut for some reasons . so would I able to store that particular logs in different file ? so that I should not request them to call again to see only that logs. – Avani badheka Aug 31 '16 at 07:54
  • You're welcome. Calls are not cut suddenly and for no reason! But if you want to log CDRs you can refer to: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18183440/how-to-get-call-info-from-kamailio question. When using CDRs remember to add necessary tables and fileds to Kamailio's database. – gst Sep 07 '16 at 08:35
  • @Avanibadheka yes you can write to different log file.. just set the syslog or rsyslog setting for kamailio level log..so it will write kamailio log to different file. – suren Oct 26 '16 at 06:46
