Scrolling log on/off/parsing messages

General Help
1

Can someone explain why I would get the following messages scrolling at my CLI prompt. Im running Pbxiaf with FreePBX 2.4 and Asterisk 1.4.18. It doesn’t seem to matter if I’m logged into FreePBX or not, the messages scroll 24/7.

there are processes that login and out all the time using the AMPMGRADMIN variable and that is what you are seeing the results of.

You can get it to stop showing you this info by editing the /etc/asterisk/manager.conf file and under the admin context add the following:
displayconnects = no

You’ll need to reload the config and then it stops.

I get this as well, and it annoys the bejesus out of me.

I tried adding an entry into manager.conf of displayconnects = no (and off and false) and none of them work.

asterisk -rm

You need to add displayconnects = off in the [general] section of manager.conf
It is supposed to work for each user but it doesn’t.
asterisk -rm will mute all logging to console so it is not very useful.

[general]
enabled = yes
port = 5038
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
displayconnects = off

Thanks Vietbach,

I use Elastix 2.x (FreePBX 2.7) and I used to get this problem for quite some time. After adding following line in /etc/asterisk/manager.conf it has solved the annoying scrolling message.

; [general]
; enabled = yes
; port = 5038
; bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
displayconnects = off
