and so on, including all console messages from asterisk.
The problem isn't the message, the problem is that stdout of asterisk
service is continuously logged to syslog, despite asterisk already
having a perfectly usable logging system which can be configured to log
to file, or to syslog itself.
Moreover, the ANSI codes aren't stripped, which makes the log look
awful.
after chatting in #ubuntu, i've been told I can fix this problem by the
following:
systemctl edit asterisk
and adding the following to the override file:
[Service]
StandardOutput=null
StandardError=null
This indeed fixes the output spam and I can further edit
/etc/asterisk/logger.conf to log stuff to syslog if I so wish, using the
correct methods.
So, I think the bug is that asterisk service definition file should
include these stdout/stderr definitions by default.
Thanks for looking into this.
