Odd log messages

Hi guys,

I’ve suddenly started getting lots of repeated logs that look something like these. I have no idea what they mean or what would be causing them… there are no active calls right now. Any ideas as to what these are…???

I think I must have turned on some additional logging? I ran asterisk -rvd, but apparently when I exited that session it didn’t turn off the -v or -d extras. I had to stop/start asterisk completely to get the messages reported above to stop.

Still, it begs the questions… what were all of those “call-id changed” lines about when there were no calls happening at all… not internal, not external, not voicemail, nothing. And, what are those “Login” and “Command” entries – no one was logging in and running commands either.

The chan_sip module uses the term “call” extremely broadly internally. Sending a qualify request (an OPTIONS) to a device, that’s a call. Sending them a NOTIFY with MWI, that’s a call. It’s essentially a SIP dialog.

As for the Login/Command, those are from AMI. I don’t work on FreePBX, but it probably has stuff logging in automatically and doing stuff.

Generally if you turn on debug level, you’re going to see this kind of stuff, and you’re going to get concerned for no reason.

Thanks for the explanation!
