Once, a customer of mine asked one employee's calls listing. When I read CDR, I discovered most of it was unusable, due to a mistake in dialplan. Then, I was very happy to use logs as a second source of CDR : I could parse logs to complement CDR and provide the listing I was asked. At that time, I told myself I should think it over and elaborate some rule about logging verbosity. So at the moment, I told myself I would "never set verbosity any lower to the point you wouldn't be able to rebuild CDR from it". Another thought is the other day, when I tried to shrink customer's logs, after 30mn of processing, I got "temperature is becoming too hot" warning in syslog. So I didn't take any chance and stopped the ongoing job. So having plenty (too much) of logs has a price as I couldn't save them as conveniently as I would have thought.
