≡ Logger.conf

Asterisk has a built in logging module that can be used to track what’s happening on your PBX. The file, aptly named logger.conf, defines which types of alerts will be logged.

[logfiles]
; Format is "filename" and then "levels" of debugging to be included:
;    debug
;    notice
;    warning
;    error
;    verbose (new level, allows logging of verbose messaging
; Special filename "console" represents the system console
;
full_log => warning,error

The contents of this log will be stored in /var/log/asterisk/full_log.  If you are developing or troubleshooting, you can use this log to see what’s happening behind the scenes.

On Linux, you can run tail -f /var/log/asterisk/full_log to see the log’s contents as Asterisk writes to it.

As always - lots of info on voip-info.org for logger.conf, and you can always hit us up with questions!
