asterisk users - Jul 2020 - Remove ANSI colour trings from log files only

Hi,

Is there a way to drop the ANSI colour strings from log files? In
particular, I've got JSON logging throwing logs over to ES, but they have
the ANSI colour escape sequences.

Ideally I don't want to lose coloured logs from the console though, and I
can't "see" a way to do this.

Ast 16 at the moment…

Have you tried starting asterisk with the "-n" param?

   -n              Disable console colorization

Well I skipped reading the part where you say “only for log files” :-(

You can post process the logs with something like sed.  See:

Yeah; we're injesting using filebeat and you can do sed style parsing on
lines into it using one fo the pipeline parsers; it' sjust a bit messy
config wise when using the stnadard docker containers. But if it's not a
"simple" answer it sounds like that's not a bad option.
