Agreed. There are several levels that are controlled in the logger.conf file: console => debug,notice,warning,error,dtmf Those are basically unrelated to the verbosity levels because you'll see those even at verbosity level 0. From what I can remember, even at debug level 0, you will still get some DEBUG messages, but at a debug level or 3 or 4, you'll get more. > You can for example have verbose set to 0 and debug set to 5 (assuming you > have debug output turned on in logger.conf), and you will see lots of > debugging messages, but nothing else. > > There are numerous areas in the code where a message may or may not be > generated.

Basically, verbose levels 1 and 2 do not give you anything more than 0. I use verbose levels 1 and 2 in the Verbose() application which lets you control output at any verbose level you want. Asterisk really only has meaningful verbosity at levels 3 and 4. Higher than that is useless. I love when people put a verbose level of 1000 and think it's doing something more than verbose level 4 :) There is a small difference between 3 and 4, but not much. -- Leif Madsen. http://www.leifmadsen.com http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/asterisk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
