[asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.2.10 - Continually Restarting Logger
Hi,
We're seeing a problem on Asterisk 1.2.10 where when we get in in the
morning it's continually rotating the logs over and over again,
generating 100's of thousands of log rotated 0 byte files:-
/var/logs/asterisk # find . -type f -maxdepth 1 | wc -l
176930
/var/log/asterisk # find . -type f -maxdepth 1 -size 0 -exec mv {} nulls/ \;
/var/log/asterisk # find . -type f -maxdepth 1 | wc -l
69169
A segment of the relevant log is:-
Jul 25 06:33:42 VERBOSE[9638] logger.c: Asterisk Event Logger restarted
Jul 25 06:33:42 VERBOSE[9638] logger.c: Asterisk Queue Logger restarted

disconnected
Jul 25 06:33:42 VERBOSE[9647] logger.c: Asterisk Event Logger restarted
Jul 25 06:33:42 VERBOSE[9647] logger.c: Asterisk Queue Logger restarted
etc...
Has anyone else seen this or have any ideas what the problem may be?
Thanks,

Very often, it slows down as the number of log files in the /var/log/asterisk directory increases. > there is some kind of regularity or it is done randomly (10logs/1s and > another time 20logs/1s) ? Seems to happen more often than not (the past three days) overnight. We're assuming that it starts when asterisk does it's daily log rotate itself and then gets itself into a spin... -- Kenny Millington Systems Developer 3aIT Limited T: 0870 881 5097 F: 01403 248 105 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: http://www.3ait.co.uk ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Ok, I believe I see the problem here!
I was told (apparently erroneously) that asterisk does rotation itself
because "they didn't rotate before and now they do".
I've just looked in the /etc/logrotate.d/ directory and there's an
asterisk file containing:-
# cat /etc/logrotate.d/asterisk
# system-specific logs may be configured here
/var/log/asterisk/* {
daily
postrotate
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "logger rotate"
endscript
}
Now... If I were to guess I'd guess that the * is matching the logs that
have already been rotated and rotating them, generating yet more files
to be matched by the * and hence rotated... Does that sound plausible?
At any rate, I'm going to specify the files without using a wildcard
match and see how that goes.
