; ; Logging Configuration ; ; In this file, you configure logging to files or to ; the syslog system. ; ; "logger reload" at the CLI will reload configuration ; of the logging system. [general] ; ; Customize the display of debug message time stamps ; this example is the ISO 8601 date format (yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS) ; ; see strftime(3) Linux manual for format specifiers. Note that there is also ; a fractional second parameter which may be used in this field. Use %1q ; for tenths, %2q for hundredths, etc. ; ;dateformat=%F %T ; ISO 8601 date format ;dateformat=%F %T.%3q ; with milliseconds ; ; ; This makes Asterisk write callids to log messages ; (defaults to yes) ;use_callids = no ; ; This appends the hostname to the name of the log files. ;appendhostname = yes ; ; This determines whether or not we log queue events to a file ; (defaults to yes). ;queue_log = no ; ; Determines whether the queue_log always goes to a file, even ; when a realtime backend is present (defaults to no). ;queue_log_to_file = yes ; ; Set the queue_log filename ; (defaults to queue_log) ;queue_log_name = queue_log ; ; When using realtime for the queue log, use GMT for the timestamp ; instead of localtime. The default of this option is 'no'. ;queue_log_realtime_use_gmt = yes ; ; Log rotation strategy: ; none: Do not perform any logrotation at all. You should make ; very sure to set up some external logrotate mechanism ; as the asterisk logs can get very large, very quickly. ; sequential: Rename archived logs in order, such that the newest ; has the highest sequence number [default]. When ; exec_after_rotate is set, ${filename} will specify ; the new archived logfile. ; rotate: Rotate all the old files, such that the oldest has the ; highest sequence number [this is the expected behavior ; for Unix administrators]. When exec_after_rotate is ; set, ${filename} will specify the original root filename. ; timestamp: Rename the logfiles using a timestamp instead of a ; sequence number when "logger rotate" is executed. ; When exec_after_rotate is set, ${filename} will ; specify the new archived logfile. ;rotatestrategy = rotate ; ; Run a system command after rotating the files. This is mainly ; useful for rotatestrategy=rotate. The example allows the last ; two archive files to remain uncompressed, but after that point, ; they are compressed on disk. ; ; exec_after_rotate=gzip -9 ${filename}.2 ; ; ; For each file, specify what to log. ; ; For console logging, you set options at start of ; Asterisk with -v for verbose and -d for debug ; See 'asterisk -h' for more information. ; ; Directory for log files is configures in asterisk.conf ; option astlogdir ; ; All log messages go to a queue serviced by a single thread ; which does all the IO. This setting controls how big that ; queue can get (and therefore how much memory is allocated) ; before new messages are discarded. ; The default is 1000 ;logger_queue_limit = 250 ; ; [logfiles] ; ; Format is: ; ; logger_name => [formatter]levels ; ; The name of the logger dictates not only the name of the logging ; channel, but also its type. Valid types are: ; - 'console' - The root console of Asterisk ; - 'syslog' - Linux syslog, with facilities specified afterwards with ; a period delimiter, e.g., 'syslog.local0' ; - 'filename' - The name of the log file to create. This is the default ; for log channels. ; ; Filenames can either be relative to the standard Asterisk log directory ; (see 'astlogdir' in asterisk.conf), or absolute paths that begin with ; '/'. ; ; An optional formatter can be specified prior to the log levels sent ; to the log channel. The formatter is defined immediately preceeding the ; levels, and is enclosed in square brackets. Valid formatters are: ; - [default] - The default formatter, this outputs log messages using a ; human readable format. ; - [json] - Log the output in JSON. Note that JSON formatted log entries, ; if specified for a logger type of 'console', will be formatted ; per the 'default' formatter for log messages of type VERBOSE. ; This is due to the remote consoles intepreting verbosity ; outside of the logging subsystem. ; ; Log levels include the following, and are specified in a comma delineated ; list: ; debug ; notice ; warning ; error ; verbose() ; dtmf ; fax ; security ; ; Verbose takes an optional argument, in the form of an integer level. ; Verbose messages with higher levels will not be logged to the file. If ; the verbose level is not specified, it will log verbose messages following ; the current level of the root console. ; ; Special level name "*" means all levels, even dynamic levels registered ; by modules after the logger has been initialized (this means that loading ; and unloading modules that create/remove dynamic logger levels will result ; in these levels being included on filenames that have a level name of "*", ; without any need to perform a 'logger reload' or similar operation). ; Note that there is no value in specifying both "*" and specific level names ; for a filename; the "*" level means all levels. The only exception is if ; you need to specify a specific verbose level. e.g, "verbose(3),*". ; ; We highly recommend that you DO NOT turn on debug mode if you are simply ; running a production system. Debug mode turns on a LOT of extra messages, ; most of which you are unlikely to understand without an understanding of ; the underlying code. Do NOT report debug messages as code issues, unless ; you have a specific issue that you are attempting to debug. They are ; messages for just that -- debugging -- and do not rise to the level of ; something that merit your attention as an Asterisk administrator. Debug ; messages are also very verbose and can and do fill up logfiles quickly; ; this is another reason not to have debug mode on a production system unless ; you are in the process of debugging a specific issue. ; ;debug => debug ;security => security console => notice,warning,error ;console => notice,warning,error,debug messages => notice,warning,error ;full => notice,warning,error,debug,verbose,dtmf,fax ; ;full-json => [json]debug,verbose,notice,warning,error,dtmf,fax ; ;syslog keyword : This special keyword logs to syslog facility ; ;syslog.local0 => notice,warning,error ;
