Any idea on what this means and why it is happening?

What is the best way also to delete the logs after a certain point of time using Crontab?

I don’t know if I should do it daily, weekly or monthly.

Thank you and 73

Rob

What version of ASL3/asterisk are you running?

sudo asterisk -x "core show version"

Here it is

Asterisk 20.11.0+asl3-3.2.0-2.deb12 built by builder @ allstarlink.org on a x86_64 running Linux on 2024-12-20 20:18:06 UTC

OK. That’s the release just prior to the “beta” we shared last weekend. The “beta” has a fix for a different issue where the log was being filled with :

Missing voice format on incoming IAX2 channel

We have an old issue, GitHub app_rpt #307, but I don’t see any recent activity. But, I will say that the current “beta” also includes some myrpt->lock changes so updating might help.

As for rotating the logs, we have a “weekly” rotation of the logs setup in /etc/logrotate.d/asterisk. You can certainly change this to “daily”.

Strange, I have tried the updates, only got this

What do you recommend?

Info on the most recent set of “beta” packages can be found in 2025.03.08 - Package Updates - Beta Channel.

If you are interested in trying out the “beta” packages then have a look at Beta Testing.
