Abstract

A method and apparatus for processing signalling tracing are provided. The method includes the following steps: a client reads a configuration file corresponding to a traced service (101); the client establishes a connection to a server (102); based on the configuration file, the client registers with the traced service in the server; after registration is successful, the client receives a signalling tracing message fed back by the server about the traced service (103); and the client outputs the signalling tracing message to a display interface (104).

Claims

1. A method for processing signalling tracing, comprising:

reading, by a client, a configuration file corresponding to a traced service;

establishing, by the client, a connection between the client and a server;

registering with, by the client, the traced service in the server based on the configuration file; and

receiving, by the client, a signalling tracing message of the traced service fed back by the server after the registration is successful, and outputting, by the client, the signalling tracing message to a display interface.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

before reading, by the client, the configuration file corresponding to the traced service,

creating, by the client, the configuration file corresponding to the traced service and saving, by the client, the created configuration file in a specified directory.

3. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

before reading, by the client, the configuration file corresponding to the traced service,

searching for, by the client, the configuration file corresponding to the traced service in a specified directory where configuration files are saved.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

before establishing, by the client, the connection between the client and the server,

reading, by the client, an interface configuration file set in advance and outputting an interactive interface generated dynamically by the interface configuration file to the display interface.

5. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

after receiving, by the client, the signalling tracing message fed back by the server about the traced service,

converting, by the client, a format of the received signalling tracing message into an extensible markup language (XML) format.

6. An apparatus for processing signalling tracing, comprising a reading module, a connection module, a registration module and a receiving and displaying module, wherein

the reading module is configured to read a configuration file corresponding to a traced service;

the connection module is configured to establish a connection between the client and a server;

the registration module is configured to register with the traced service in the server based on the configuration file; and

the receiving and displaying module is configured to receive a signalling tracing message fed back by the server about the traced service and output the signalling tracing message to a display interface.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising a creating module configured to create the configuration file corresponding to the traced service and save the created configuration file in a specified directory.

8. The apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising a searching module configured to search for the configuration file corresponding to the traced service in a specified directory where configuration files are saved.

9. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the reading module is further configured to read an interface configuration file set in advance and output an interactive interface generated dynamically by the interface configuration file to the display interface.

10. The apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising a conversion module configured to convert a format of the signalling tracing message received by the receiving and displaying module into an extensible markup language (XML) format and send the converted signalling tracing message to the receiving and displaying module.
