Idea CEV-I-742: Option to enable Audio/RTP capture in the PCAP download

  • 1.  Idea CEV-I-742: Option to enable Audio/RTP capture in the PCAP download

    Posted 2 days ago

    Hi everyone,

    I would like to ask for your support on Genesys Cloud Idea CEV-I-742.

    Today, Genesys Cloud provides useful call quality metrics through the Call Quality Details API, such as jitter, latency, and packet loss. However, in many real-world troubleshooting scenarios, these aggregated metrics are not enough to fully diagnose complex audio issues.

    For example, issues such as one-way audio, no audio, robotic or distorted sound, intermittent audio drops, echo, out-of-order RTP packets, burst packet loss, SSRC changes, timestamp inconsistencies, codec changes during the call, or differences between inbound and outbound media streams often require direct RTP analysis.

    Currently, the PCAP file available for download contains only SIP signaling, without the actual Audio/RTP stream. For customers using BYOC Cloud, this means that teams often need to enable Media Capture on the trunk and open a support case whenever deeper analysis is required. This increases troubleshooting time and can impact mission-critical operations.

    The idea proposes allowing Audio/RTP to be included in PCAP downloads when Media Capture is explicitly enabled on the trunk. This would give administrators, partners, and telecom engineers more autonomy to troubleshoot media issues directly, reduce MTTR, and avoid unnecessary support cases.

    Genesys has already responded that this idea needs more votes and comments to move forward, so any support from the community would be greatly appreciated.

    If this feature would help your organization, please consider voting and commenting on idea CEV-I-742.

    Thank you!

    Hello, @Elisson Fernandes.

    By far, this would be the most useful thing if implemented. Currently, we face a lot of network issues that are really hard to diagnose without the customer network team. With this, we could troubleshoot issues faster and reduce customer impacts.

    I honestly don't see any reason for Genesys to block this.
     
    Some time ago, I worked on a SIP trunk implementation where we had one-way audio issues.
     
    The carrier said everything was fine and provided evidence.
    The customer's SBC team also said everything was fine and provided evidence.
     
    I opened a case with Genesys, and I was told that for security reasons they could not provide even a screenshot (whats???).
     
    In the end, I asked both the carrier and the Telecom team to send me their packet captures, and I was able to identify that the firewall was changing the RTP ports (configuration of the SIP ALG / SIP Helper).
     
    Anyway, my point is: this would help A LOT.
     
    What Genesys Support says is that RTP contains the recording, but if I already have access to the .pcap, I can extract the recording anyway lol, so it doesn't really make sense.
     
    Hopefully they allow this in the future.

    Hi @Kaio Oliveira,

    Yes, and technically this wouldn't be entirely new. I remember that with Edge VM, it was possible to enable capture directly on the network port/interface, and it would capture everything (and if I'm not mistaken, it captured this part as well).
     
    The limitation was that enabling it would restart the network interface, and if it stayed enabled for too long, it could cause performance degradation.
     
    That said, having a way to enable this type of capture would be extremely helpful for both implementations and support.

    Fully supporting this idea. Having RTP included in PCAPs (when Media Capture is enabled) would massively improve troubleshooting for real audio issues. SIP‑only captures aren't enough for diagnosing one‑way audio, drops, or distortion. This feature would reduce MTTR, cut down support cases, and give customers proper visibility into their media streams. Definitely needed.

    Great @Elisson Fernandes , those scenarios still persist, so this implementation would be fair and necessary.
