For more backstory on the implemented protocol: HEP is an open encapsulation protocol extremely popular in VoIP Applications and natively supported by many platforms such as Kamailio, OpenSIPS, Asterisk, Freeswitch and others.

Thanks @aqsyonas and @lmangani, would love to hear more about the specifics of how one would utilize this parser. I'll probably want to setup a testing environment as well, any suggestions for which program I could use that, whichout too much fuss, could generate some interesting data?

Hi @danielnelson thanks for your feedback! We have a HEP generator in NodeJS you can use to pump some data towards the socket. Find it here: https://github.com/sipcapture/hepgen.js

We're available to provide examples and assistance setting up and executing any test ;)

EDIT: The following should work, adjust the TELEGRAF IP and PORT to match the socket:

git clone https://github.com/sipcapture/hepgen.js
cd hepgen.js
npm install

nodejs hepgen.js -s {TELEGRAF_IP} -p {TELEGRAF_PORT} -c ./config/reports_rtp.js

@danielnelson Thanks, for the reply. I have generated some data using the parser, below stats are from influxdb.

I have just selected a few stats, but Hep protocol does offer feature in-rich information regarding the calls.

Please let me know if that helps.
Br, Aqs.

Hey @aqsyonas are you still interested to getting this parser merged?

@srebhan yes - I'll pick this thread up

@lmangani wonderful! Can you please first rebase the PR on the current master and make sure you don't modify the unrelated plugins/parsers/influx/machine.go? Let me know once you are done and I will give it a review...

@srebhan we will shortly open a new PR with rebased code and refer to this issue - thanks!

When you are ready, please mention the new PR here and close this PR. Feel free to assign me to or request a review for the new PR...

@srebhan sorry for delay. Here is the new one: #10039
This we can close.
