I have also brought this up in a recent meeting. Besides me, at least Eric was in favor of introducing this change, and nobody was strictly against it. Pau said, that he prefers to have no GSMTAP logs in the pcaps, but it would be fine for him to filter them out.

Due the lack of replies on this thread, I went ahead and submitted a patch: https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/docker-playground/+/14712

Dear ML,

I'm wondering why we do not have gsmtap logging enabled for TTCN3 testsuites, and if there are any reasons against doing that.

Personally I find it very useful to have gsmtap logs in pcap files, because then then there is no need to manually match the timestamps of the log file and interesting parts of the pcap dump.

Especially in the TTCN3 testsuites, where we generate a separate pcap file for each test, but have one big log file of the SUT (e.g. osmo-hlr) for the entire testsuite run.

Thoughts?

Thanks, Oliver
