[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (ASTERISK-21168) asterisk logger stops logging VERBOSE and NOTICE messages after some time.

Rusty Newton commented on ASTERISK-21168:
-----------------------------------------

Okay, and to clarify the behavior further

The problem appears to occur on machines (Ast version 1.4.x - 1.8.x) where debug messages are enabled in logger.conf (possibly along with other message types) and you have *not* changed the debug level with a CLI command.

When the problem occurs, the logs consist of only WARNING and ERROR messages, but no other types - where you would have expected additionally DEBUG messages at least to be written as well?

If that is the case.. then there are plenty of other users who should be seeing the same issue. I've had systems run in that situation for long periods and haven't observed the problem as well. You may want to post ALL of your Asterisk configs (sanitized) to this issue. That way even if we have to close it for now (we can't reproduce it) then they'll be there for comparison in case another user reports this at some point.

> We're usually using notice,warning,error,debug,verbose logging on our asterisk boxes. (either to file, or using syslog). however, it's happening, that after some time asterisk starts logging only WARNING/ERROR messages. We usually find out when we need to investigate some problem, that logs are incomplete... What is strange is, that when asterisk console is connected (using asterisk -rvvvvvvv), logging immetiately starts working, on the other side, forcing logger reload using "asterisk -rx "logger reload") doesn't help.. We've observed this behaviour on wide variety of versions from 1.4.x to 1.8.x.
