asterisk users - Mar 2006 - How to disable event_log?

Hi,

how can I disable event_log in order to reduce
hard disk activity?

I can't find any hints in conf files.

Must I hack the source code or even use brutal
methods like creating a dir called event_log in
the log dir, in order to prevent asterisk from
creating an event_log file? (Just chmod a-w event_log does not
work, unfortunately.)


Thanks for any hints!

Roger.

Roger. check logger.conf under the general heading.

; This determines whether or not we log generic events to a file
; (defaults to yes).
;event_log = no

Brett

the astersisk.conf file has a pointer to where the log files are stored:
astlogdir => /var/log/asterisk

maybe if you changed it to point to /dev/null/ they would just vanish.  I
can't vouch if this would work but its a suggestion.

Enjoy,
Steve
