Finding the right info in TB logs
Submitted by bwoo on Mon, 08/27/2007 - 10:40am.
I'm too much of a newbie to this, and I was wondering apart from the "Asterisk Info" on the main homepage for Trixbox, what are other ways I can find out what Trixbox is doing?
For example, I'm sort of looking for information that tells me:
Extn 2000 picked up the phone
It dialed 9|19995551212
This fell in the dial plan of outbound route XYZ-Out
Which picked up trunk for VSP1
I've looked through /var/log/asterisk/full, but there is a LOT of information.
Some guidance here would be great.
Thanks

This stuff all comes up in the console log. Telnet or SSH to your Asterisk box.
Log into an account (root) on that system.
At the console prompt, type asterisk -cvr
Make some calls - you will see all of the diagnostic information scrolling past. Unfortunately there is no real "guide" to decoding this, nor any application that takes it to something more human friendly (which would be a challenge, as there is a great degree of variation needed in the amount of diagnostic information useful to a troubleshooter. )

Logs are in /var/logs
you are looking for a parser, as the raw data is not readable.
So what you want a GUI to select what you wish filter out???
What do you to want display?
Httpd should only show the access to the gui's (Freepbx / ARI)
mysql logs updates and changes what do you want out of that??
Asterisk has the CDR now and as there is SO MUCH going thru the asterisk log you need to setup parser for certain items.
A Challenge..

Please see my post here. The post identifies an open source log file viewer that may be a useful add-on for trixbox and freePBX.
