[asterisk-users] Problems sending log to rsyslog

[Mauricio Tavares]

      So I have asterisk 1.8.23 and want to send my logs to rsyslog. I
tell asterisk to use syslog in addition to messages:

root at voip:~# tail -10 /etc/asterisk/logger.conf
;debug => debug
console => notice,warning,error
;console => notice,warning,error,debug
messages => notice,warning,error
;full => notice,warning,error,debug,verbose,dtmf,fax

;syslog keyword : This special keyword logs to syslog facility
;
syslog.local0 => notice,warning,error
;
root at voip:~#

After reloading (asterisk -rx 'logger reload') the logger, it seems
that Asterisk is happy:

root at voip:~# asterisk -rx 'logger show channels'
Channel                             Type     Status    Configuration
-------                             ----     ------    -------------
syslog.local0                       Syslog   Enabled    - NOTICE WARNING ERROR
/var/log/asterisk/messages          File     Enabled    - NOTICE WARNING ERROR
                                    Console  Enabled    - NOTICE WARNING ERROR
root at voip:~#

So I set rsyslog:

root at voip:~# fgrep asterisk /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
local0.*                       /var/log/asterisk/messages.log
root at voip:~#

and restart it. And then check the asterisk log directory:

root at voip:~# ls -lh /var/log/asterisk/
total 3.7M
drwxr-xr-x 2 asterisk asterisk 4.0K Jul 22 20:57 cdr-csv
drwxr-xr-x 2 asterisk asterisk 4.0K Jun 28 14:16 cdr-custom
-rw-rw---- 1 asterisk asterisk 252K Sep 26 09:37 messages
-rw-rw---- 1 asterisk asterisk 248K Sep 22 05:14 messages.1
-rw-r----- 1 syslog   adm         0 Sep 26 06:47 messages.log
-rw-rw---- 1 asterisk asterisk  118 Sep 26 10:07 queue_log
root at voip:~#

It does not seem like much is being written to messages.log compared
to messages. Anything I missed?
