Watching Live Calls in CLI

Hey, I have a request from our manager, but I’m not sure how to handle it. She wants to watch live calls through the Asterisk CLI interface. I don’t want to give her the root password or let her run commands like core reload. Any ideas on how I can set this up?

What does “watch live calls” actually mean?

I mean all the logs that appear in the Asterisk CLI.

Logging can be configured to go to a file, and this file can be viewed instead without interacting with the Asterisk CLI.

She wants to see all these log messages in live mode…

from a shell tail -F /var/log/asterisk/full (or whatever log you want to follow)

She wants to see log messages in real time as they appear in the Asterisk console. How can I give her minimal access so that she cannot execute any potentially dangerous commands like ‘core reload’?
