Logger: Log queue threshold (1000) exceeded. Discarding new messages

Asterisk Asterisk Support

I have a Asterisk 22.8.2 machine that when I do a dialplan reload via AMI it gives me these errors:

[Apr 16 08:54:21] WARNING[2898] logger: Log queue threshold (1000) exceeded. Discarding new messages.

[Apr 16 08:54:21] WARNING[1347] logger: Logging resumed. 165 messages discarded.

It’s always the same two numbers, 1000 and 165. Doesn’t seem to grow with additional contexts.

Those are warnings, not errors. The reload operation generated a ton of log messages faster than the thread that handles them could deal with them.

3

If I have dialplan errors at reload will the messages about them be dropped by the logging thread when this occurs?

It looks like yes. We should probably limit that more so that errors and warnings get through. Create a feature on the issue tracker[1].

For the logger? It hasn’t been touched in years, upon years, upon years.

Logger queue limit can be set:

do you have an idea what the maximum is ?

I pulled up the code. There is no enforced maximum, so it would depend on memory.
