Homer SIP capture and VoIP Monitoring Install Guide

2023-10-02 20:05:16

Homer is a carrier-grade SIP capture and VoIP monitoring system. This procedure will show how to install Homer on a CentOS v7 server.

CaptAgent is a Homer Encapsulation Protocol (HEP) agent. It is used to collect relevant data on a local Linux VoIP server, encapsulate it for transportation, and send it to Homer. This procedure will show how to install it on CentOS v6, v7, and Debian v8

Software

CentOS v7
Homer v5
Kamailio v5
CaptAgent v6

PRE-INSTALL

Disable Selinux

Check status.

sestatus

If not disabled, do the following and reboot.

sed -i 's/\(^SELINUX=\).*/\SELINUX=disabled/' /etc/selinux/config
Disable firewall

It is sometimes helpful to disable the firewall during install.

systemctl disable firewalld
systemctl disable iptables
systemctl stop firewalld
systemctl stop iptables
Timezone
yum install ntp
systemctl enable ntpd
systemctl start ntpd

Find timezone

tzselect

Set timezone example

timedatectl set-timezone America/Vancouver

INSTALL

Prerequisites
yum -y install epel-release
yum -y update
yum -y install git nano gcc httpd mariadb mariadb-server mariadb-devel php php-mysql bison pcre-devel libpcap-devel flex GeoIP-devel
Homer

Download

cd /usr/src/

git clone https://github.com/sipcapture/homer-ui.git
git clone https://github.com/sipcapture/homer-api.git
git clone https://github.com/sipcapture/homer-config.git

Optionally change the default database password in the following files

/usr/src/homer-api/api/configuration_example.php
/usr/src/homer-api/sql/rotation_kamailio5.ini
/usr/src/homer-api/sql/mysql/homer_user.sql
/usr/src/homer-config/sipcapture/sipcapture.kamailio5

Copy files

cp -R /usr/src/homer-ui/* /var/www/html
cp -R /usr/src/homer-api/api /var/www/html/api  

mkdir /opt/homer
cp /usr/src/homer-api/scripts/mysql/* /opt/homer
mv -f /opt/homer/rotation_kamailio5.ini /opt/homer/rotation.ini
chmod +x /opt/homer/*

Rename preference and configuration files.

cd /var/www/html/api
mv preferences_example.php preferences.php
mv configuration_example.php configuration.php

Edit preferences

nano /var/www/html/api/preferences.php

Set define('RTCP_TABLE_PARTITION', 1);
Change the REMOTE_LOG_URL and EXTERNAL_AUTH_URL to Homer server IP.
Change ALARM_FROMEMAIL, ALARM_TOEMAIL, HOMER_TIMEZONE, as necessary.

Change mysql socket directory and name for compatibility with CentOS v7 

sed -i "s/run\/mysqld\/mysqld.sock/lib\/mysql\/mysql.sock/g" /opt/homer/rotation.ini
MariaDB

Create MySQL databases and tables

systemctl enable mariadb
systemctl restart mariadb

cd /usr/src/homer-api/sql/mysql

mysql < homer_databases.sql
mysql < homer_user.sql
mysql homer_data < schema_data.sql
mysql homer_configuration < schema_configuration.sql
mysql homer_statistic < schema_statistic.sql

Lock down the database server

mysql_secure_installation
Answer Y to everything.
Rotation script

Create the daily cron

crontab -e
30 3 * * * root /opt/homer/homer_mysql_rotate > /dev/null 2>&1

The daily cron must be run before Homer can begin capturing data.

/opt/homer/homer_mysql_rotate
Kamailio

Compile install is required to use the geoip module. This compile procedure installs into the same directories as the official Kamailio RPMs, therefore it is interchangeable with an RPM install.

cd /usr/src
git clone -b 5.0 --single-branch https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio.git
cd /usr/src/kamailio
make include_modules="db_mysql sipcapture pv textops rtimer xlog sqlops htable sl siputils geoip" cfg \
prefix=/usr/ cfg_prefix=/

make all && make install

Copy and modify kamailio.cfg.

cp /usr/src/homer-config/sipcapture/sipcapture.kamailio5 /etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg
sed -i "s/GeoIP.dat/GeoIPCity.dat/g" /etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg
sed -i "s/lib\/x86_64-linux-gnu/lib64/g" /etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg

Install GeoIP data

mkdir /usr/share/GeoIP
cd /usr/share/GeoIP/
wget -N -q http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
mv GeoLiteCity.dat.gz GeoIPCity.dat.gz
gunzip GeoIPCity.dat.gz
Enable GeoIP 
nano /etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg 

## Uncomment the following line near the top.  So instead of ##, make it #
#!define WITH_HOMER_GEO

Create startup systemd file

nano /etc/systemd/system/kamailio.service

[Unit]
Description=Kamailio - the Open Source SIP Server
After=network-online.target
After=mariadb.service httpd.service

Create kamailio user

useradd kamailio

Copy Kamailio environment file

cp /usr/src/kamailio/pkg/kamailio/centos/7/kamailio.sysconfig /etc/default/kamailio

Enable and start Kamailio

systemctl enable kamailio
systemctl start kamailio
Apache configuration
chown -R apache. /var/www/html
nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/homer.conf

systemctl enable httpd
systemctl restart httpd

Browse to http://yourserverip

Make sure date/time range in upper right is correct when searching.

Firewall

Replace x.x.x.x with the VoIP server IP being monitored and repeat as necessary.

systemctl enable firewalld
systemctl start firewalld

firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service={http,https}
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="x.x.x.x" accept'

firewall-cmd --reload

CaptAgent

Universal Homer Encapsulation Protocol (HEP) agent.

Install on any VoIP server you want to monitor. Alternatively, Asterisk PJSIP, Freeswitch, Kamailio, OpenSIPS, and rtpengine have the ability to enable native HEP support. Native clients may not support all features. For example, Freeswitch v1.6 does not currently support RTCP for QoS stats.

          #Activate it for RTCP checks
          if(!check_rtcp_ipport())
            {
              clog("ERROR", "ALREADY EXIST");
            }
        }
