[asterisk-dev] custom-cdr output to syslog hack

[Michael Iedema]

Greetings devs,
I'm working on an embedded project where all logging facilities must
be circularized (fixed size logs, not log rotation) to keep my ram
disk from getting eaten up.  I already have a clogged syslog
implementation and, instead of reinventing the wheel writing a clogged
cdr handler, I'm hacking cdr output to syslog.

This is how I'm doing it:
- defining LOG_CDR in the asterisk logger
- in custom_log, outputting the custom-cdr buffer to LOG_CDR with ast_log

My questions are, is there a better way to hack cdr to syslog?  Did I
miss some functionality in the cdr or logging systems that would allow
me to accomplish this circular behavior, avoiding hackery?

Thanks in advance for your time,
--Michael I.
