Agree. But if we do, it has to be configurable and parsable and part of the logger module. So we basically have to add a channel pointer to a version of the ast_log command (ast_log_channel() ) to make the logger system aware of the channel.

1. Change logger system, add new function call, add config option in logger.conf
2. Gradually change log messages to use ast_log_channel and send a pointer to the channel

This way, we can have callerID, but also channel name and other data  - like tech - added as prefixes to the logger. Subsystems can then sort log files according to this. Imagine sorting on accountcode - you could have one log file per account, which would REALLY help support.

Just hacking caller ID into the text strings is fun, a lot of work, but not really helpful in the long term.
