Call Statistics
You can now view call statistics from your syslogs:
Debug
The debug logs have been consolidated in to a single tab where you can filter as required. One important thing you will be looking for is the route selection process, which can be found by selecting the “Route” subsystem and then choosing “Level” you want to report at (typically debug):
Media
You can now also view detailed media information in addition to SIP messages. To enable this select “File” -> “Settings”, then turn on “Show advanced media info”. Once you do this LX will display media information in line with SIP messages:
Finally.. after all these years! The previous version of this tool was a shame from such a mid-size company, well it would be shame even from a small garage company.
Certainly a long time coming! Good to see some improvements at last.
