Alex: There isn't a canonical tool that will parse and analyze
logs from different SIP vendors (unless you capture the traffic
at the packet level and use Wireshark or tcpdump.)

However, over at the SIPCLF working group [1], we are working
on a common log format for SIP.  Once defined, and when
a SIP entities from different vendors implements the format,
logs will be produced in a standardized manner allowing
you to create sequence diagrams and perform other analytics.
