Log Like CLI without opening it

Naguib_700 · February 19, 2023, 11:12am

Hi

How can I log everything happens when I opens the CLI asterisk -rvvvv without opening it?

I need to have the ability to view what happened on asterisk without keeping the CLI opened all day.

Configure logger.conf appropriately and then look at the files in /var/log/asterisk. Some level of logging is included in the sample configurations.

Note the vvvv options can be given in the configuration, or in the daemon command line.

          ;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
