While trying to figure out why, apparently, a node on my DIAL box dropped all of it's connection, I began to wonder what the logs look like on the register.allstarlink.org server. How may a controlled few of us have access to this? What lead me up to this, is evidently I don't have log rotate turned on, and asterisk, or some other magical force, decided to stop asterisk from logging after the log file was 25MB. Not knowing if Asterisk logger just appends the file with logging info or what. In any event, I copied the messages log file, and removed the original, and touched a new messages log. Then I went into the asterisk console, and restarted the logger module. It is logging again. This said, while trying to troubleshoot things, I would login to an ASL box I have access to, and watch the logs when I make a node connection to it, and also watch the logs on myside. Somethings I have noticed: - Using DIAL 8.2, I've never noticed any issues with connections, either outbound or inbound. - Using DIAL 8.2, this is what I would see: [Nov 11 21:26:30] WARNING[545]: chan_iax2.c:10127 iax2_do_register: REGISTER-LOG: Sending registration request for '45221' [Nov 11 21:26:31] WARNING[553]: chan_iax2.c:7690 registry_rerequest: REGISTER-LOG: registry rereqquest (from memory) REGISTER with 67.x.x.x who sees us as x.x.x.x:4569 with no messages waiting. - I see now when someone connects: Accepting UNAUTHENTICATED call from 67.215.233.178: > requested format = slin, > requested prefs = (), > actual format = ulaw, > host prefs = (ulaw|g726aal2|gsm), > priority = mine -- Executing [45221@radio-secure:1] Rpt("IAX2/67.215.233.178:4569- 5735", "45221") in new stack whereas before it was: AUTHENTICATED Plus I see a whole bunch of these every few minutes (this is maybe 1/3 count of these lines when it happens. notice the time.
