Learn about the Microsoft Lync Server 2013 SDK SipSnoop sample application.

Note Note

By default, the SipSnoop application is copied to the %progfile%\Microsoft Lync Server 2013\SDK\Samples\SipSnoop folder. SipSnoop and related code samples can also be downloaded from the MSDN Code Gallery.

The SipSnoop sample application that is distributed with the Lync Server 2013 SDK shows how to receive all messages that the Microsoft Lync Server 2013 computer processes. The application displays the messages in a UI and maintains statistics about various SIP messages such as number of requests and processed responses.

The application uses two application manifests, SipSnoop.am and SipSnoop2.am, to handle the following tasks.

  • SipSnoop.am is the basic manifest that handles the following application features:

    • Uses the <allowRegistrationBeforeUserServices/>element to configure the UserServicesapplication run time.

    • Configures server run time through <serverFilter roles="ALL"/>.

    • Uses the <requestFilter methodNames="ALL"/>and <responseFilter reasonCodes="ALL"/>elements to configure how the application receives each request, response, and the corresponding proxy.

  • SipSnoop2.am uses the DispatchNotification function instead of the Dispatch function.
