Description:When connected to asterisk with -r (or even with -vvvvvvvvvvvvvvr) you will get no notices.
(Like empty registration or no valid context found), or no compatible codecs found.

This makes it very hard to debug users from production servers without taking the server down.

Are these notices able to be found in the /var/log/asterisk/messages file?

just checked and they do appear in the /var/log/asterisk/messages.

The problem is that these messages are in fact not verbose messages, but instead log messages.  See logger.c: 304 in the function ast_log().  We're accustomed to seeing these on the console, as all log messages are printed not just to logfiles, but also to stdout.

The question is, should we be able to see log messages on a remote console via some sort of remote switch?  Probably, but there is no facility right now to limit messages on the remote console.  It's currently either all or nothing (see logger.c:393).

Patch uploaded.  This patch adds the -l option to allow remote consoles to see log messages.  Use as:  'asterisk -rl'.

I should note that the -l option doesn't do anything unless you have logging enabled on the console via /etc/asterisk/logger.conf

Waiting for new patch with ast_verbose instead, and double checking ast_log is not called from ast_verbose.

any updates ?

This (0000466) seems related to 0000587 and 0000599

New patch that uses ast_verbose() is now uploaded.

output works, but is really messed up

Direct copy/paste Example:

this is implemented by the logger changes from bug 587.
