Log file prints every line twice

I am using the distro version 3.211.63-8- with Asterisk 11.3.0

Has anyone noticed that the log file prints every line double? The files are so big anyways and and seeing every thing double is annoying. I did not change the log settings so this is apparently the default. It’s almost as if the console output and the log file output are both written to the log file.

You probably have duplicate entries into that logfile, presumably “full” in /etc/asterisk/logger*

grep “full =>” /etc/asterisk/logger*

to check

You are a genius. THANKS.
I totally forgot that I had it set in logger_logfiles_custom.conf
back in the old days when logger.conf wasn’t set in the Gui.

I still had the same problem on a new install. You did nothing wrong. The upgrade of core/asterisk log file package on install did that. Not you.

The issue here is on older systems FreePBX never wrote out log settings. In 2.11 we put in a new log file management module. This module now writes out the log file settings. The Distro always wrote out the custom.conf log files but FreePBX does not touch those files as they are for custom items only.

New installs do not write out the custom logfile settings. I guess in a upgrade we could attempt to detect duplicate log settings and remove the custom ones.
