[asterisk-users] High verbose set at console effects the logger file "Full" - Why is that?

[Luke Hamburg]

Fair enough.
Giving up on the backport to 1.8 or 10 for now, I had a thought for a
kludge.

How about a shell script (scheduled with cron) that checks for any 'active'
consoles -- any connected consoles where there has been user input within
the last X minutes.  If it finds none, then set the verbosity back to 5 (or
whatever level you want).  

There are a few problems with this -- I couldn't find any way to:

1) query Asterisk for a count or list of console connections, much less
'active' ones
2) query Asterisk for the current verbosity level (without changing it)

Am I barking up another wrong tree here?
Anyone have any other ideas on how to solve this problem?

It's not in Asterisk 10, it's in the current trunk, which will eventually
become Asterisk 11.  The patch, while a very nice and useful enhancement, is
unfortunately fairly intrusive.  I can't see it becoming part of the
Asterisk 1.8 or Asterisk 10 branches, given (a) the fact that it is
certainly an improvement and not a bug fix, and (b) the risk involved in
back-porting a patch of that magnitude and scope.
