logger.conf
The logger.conf file specifies the type and
verbosity of messages logged to the various log files in the
/var/log/asterisk/ directory. It has two sections,
[general]
and [logfile]
.

.
If generic events do not interest you, instruct Asterisk to

section

The general format for lines in the [logfiles]
section is
filename
=>
levels
,
where filename
is the name of the file to
save the logged information to and levels
are the types of information you wish to save.
