I also restarted the asterisk service multiple times but no effect. i think i am facing same issue reported below. ASTERISK-11598 Please advice possible solution or workaround for this problem. Regards Avinash

By: Walter Doekes (wdoekes) 2014-08-21 17:08:43.073-0500 Interesting. Looks like the {{sipdebug}} value is a bitmask of {{sip_debug_config | sip_debug_console}}. By setting {{sipdebug=yes}} in your sip.conf, you've set {{sipdebug=sip_debug_config}}. Now doing {{sip set debug on/off}} will only toggle the {{sip_debug_console}} bit. However: I don't see any output separation between {{sip_debug_console}} vs. {{sip_debug_config}}, i.e. *if either is on, it is on*. Turns out it is "expected" behaviour, although possibly not documented clearly enough. Patch to clarify is attached. {noformat} /*! \brief debugging state * We store separately the debugging requests from the config file * and requests from the CLI. Debugging is enabled if either is set * (which means that if sipdebug is set in the config file, we can * only turn it off by reloading the config). */ {noformat} Workaround: edit sip.conf and {{set sipdebug=no}} and do {{sip reload}}. (Code checked was 1.8-head.) By: Avinash Mohod (amohod) 2014-08-21 17:34:13.117-0500 After applying workaround the issue is resolved. Thank Walter for your inputs.
