asterisk users - Oct 2008 - Interpreting Asterisk Logs

Hi,

Can anybody point me to an online resource that will assist with
interpreting Asterisk log files?

I note that a similar question was asked in this forum some time ago
(http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2007-June/189793.html),
which doesn't appear to have received any responses.
On that occasion, the OP was seeking a log parser - I'm looking for
more of a general reference guide.

I'm quite new to Asterisk, and VOIP in general, and I'm struggling to
understand what many of logged messages mean.
The current approach I am taking is to google for specific messages
(or parts thereof) - and this has been somewhat fruitful, if not quite
tedious.

It would be nice to have a reference guide that lists the most common
log messages, and what they mean.

Does such a guide exist?

thanks,
Darren

Hi Darren,

I also would find such a guide very helpful. Probably something is
documented in source code. It would be interesting to know whether the
kind people who are working on asterisk documentation project have had
thoughts on this aspect.
