Sniffing modes

All in one

Typical setup is to have sniffer installed along with database and GUI on the same dedicated or PBX server. Web server can access pcap/graph files directly to voipmonitor folder. In this case you do not need to configure id_sensor in voipmonitor.conf

Central DB Multiple remote sensors

VoIPmonitor architecture allows installing sensors on various places in your network and one central WEB server and database. In this case sniffer stores pcap/graph files to local disk and send CDR to central database. Central WEB GUI is able to download pcap/graph files on demand via sniffer TCP manager which means you do not need to send pcap files to central storage.

• TCP manager interface must listen not only on localhost so the GUI server can reach it. *Set mysql in voipmonitor.conf to store to remote database
• set id_sensor to some number (this is required)
• In the GUI add the sensor in Settings#Sensors
