[OpenSIPS-Users] xlog adding information to output

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Ben,

And there is no way to insert something between opensips and the 
collector in order todo some text processing. I mean, how does the 
vendor's collector attaches to the stderror ? You start opensips within 
other app ? or ?

Best regards,
