So I have asterisk 1.8.23 and want to send my logs to rsyslog. I
tell asterisk to use syslog in addition to messages:
root@voip:~# tail -10 /etc/asterisk/logger.conf
;debug => debug
console => notice,warning,error
;console => notice,warning,error,debug
messages => notice,warning,error
;full => notice,warning,error,debug,verbose,dtmf,fax
;syslog keyword : This special keyword logs to syslog facility
;
syslog.local0 => notice,warning,error
;
root@voip:~#
After reloading (asterisk -rx 'logger reload') the logger, it seems
that Asterisk is happy:
root@voip:~# asterisk -rx 'logger show channels'
Channel Type Status Configuration
------- ---- ------ -------------
syslog.local0 Syslog Enabled - NOTICE WARNING ERROR
/var/log/asterisk/messages File Enabled - NOTICE WARNING ERROR
Console Enabled - NOTICE WARNING ERROR
root@voip:~#
So I set rsyslog:
root@voip:~# fgrep asterisk /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
local0.* /var/log/asterisk/messages.log
root@voip:~#
and restart it. And then check the asterisk log directory:
root@voip:~# ls -lh /var/log/asterisk/
total 3.7M
drwxr-xr-x 2 asterisk asterisk 4.0K Jul 22 20:57 cdr-csv
drwxr-xr-x 2 asterisk asterisk 4.0K Jun 28 14:16 cdr-custom
-rw-rw---- 1 asterisk asterisk 252K Sep 26 09:37 messages
-rw-rw---- 1 asterisk asterisk 248K Sep 22 05:14 messages.1
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 0 Sep 26 06:47 messages.log
-rw-rw---- 1 asterisk asterisk 118 Sep 26 10:07 queue_log
root@voip:~#
It does not seem like much is being written to messages.log compared
to messages. Anything I missed?
Have you checked the /var/log/asterisk directory permissions?
I dont know how rsyslog is setup on your system but its possible it gets
started as root, sees the destination file doesnt exist so creates it
and sets the file permissions, and then drops down to running as the
syslog user. At this point it doesnt have write permission to the
/var/log/asterisk directory so cannot append to the file.
