main: generate coredump and exit upon SIGABRT received Previous code relied on abort() switching sigaction to SIG_FDL + retriggering SIGABRT in case the signal handler returns, which would then generate the coredump + terminate the process. However, if a SIGABRT is received from somewhere else (kill -SIGABRT), then the process would print the talloc report and continue running, which is not desired. Fixes: OS#4865 Change-Id: I39367aa480445fe961dcfa308789b3fc0cf759a1
osmo-pcap has been created to collect network traces at different nodes but store them centrally at a dedicated note for further analysis. This might be needed for auditing, resolving conflicts, post processing or debugging a distributed system.
The system consists out of the osmo-pcap-client to capture traffic at a host and osmo-pcap-server to receive the traffic, store and rotate the traffic at a centralized server. There is a shell script to compress and expire old traces.
The osmo-pcap-client is using libpcap and has a built-in detector for the GPRS-NS/BSSGP protocol to exclude user traffic. The client is known to work on 32/64 bit systems. It can be configured through the VTY and the minimal config includes the interface to monitor, the pcap filter to use and the server to send it to.
The osmo-pcap-server will listen for new TCP connections and then will receive the data from the client if it is coming from a known/good source IPv4/port. The server is configured to write one file per client and to change/rotate the file when the link encapsulation is changing. It can be configured to rotate the file a given time interval and/or if the filesize is over a threshold.
The osmo-pcap-server comes with a shell script to rotate and compress old traces. Currently the configuration parameters (age or amount based) need to be tuned in the script itself.
There are Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian packages available via the excellent openSUSE Build Service.
Please see the contrib/osmo-pcap-server.cfg and contrib/osmo-pcap-client.cfg file in the repository
In order to run all tests, do the following:
$ ./configure --enable-external-tests $ make -j5 $ sudo setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' src/osmo-pcap-client $ make check
