Log file "full" is missing

On a installation of mine inside Log File Viewer the Log file “full” is missing.
Any idea how to fix or check what i wrong?

What i did was: i only cleared CDR and CEL events in Database.
CDR and CEL events are working fine.

Thanks

Check your log files configurations.

That’s what it looks like:
I just deleted the “full” line again but there is still no “full” log after a testcall.

This is all i have:

But /var/log/asterisk is showing the files and they are up2date:

Could you please verify the mime type?

#> cd /var/log/asterisk/
#> file --mime-type full

Sure!
file --mime-type full
full: application/octet-stream

file --mime-type fail2ban
fail2ban: text/plain

Thank you for your time!

After deleting the file “full” and saving again in the “log files” menu it is now:
text/plain
And now it is working.
How does this happen?

Is this maybe why i had issues with the Maintainance-script as well, maybe you remember?!

THANKS!

In the code, we validate if the mime type is “text/plain.” So, in this case, the file returns “application/octet-stream;” this is why the GUI doesn’t load the file.

Is it a real plain text file?

I did a test in my lab, and the file returns “text/plain.”

I have no idea why and how it got application/octet-stream
Do you know why?

When i used #cat full i was able to see the file just fine at any time.

@mo10

Your guess is as good as mine!

Lets see what happens and night when full will be converted to full-20211028 and full will be cleared by vitalpbx. Maybe it happens there.

@miguel
Yes it happens at night. Now the files can not be seen in Log File viewer anymore, again.
Same Problem again after some cronjob at night.

@miguel
Like i said: this happens at night when you run a cron job / shell.
You guys want to check via a remote-session what is going on here?
Thanks

Well, I think there is a bigger issue here. I have a BLF issue which I wanted to debug, but I cam across the following:

[root@core1 asterisk]# ll | grep full
-rw-r-----  1 asterisk asterisk 179026358 Nov  3 08:39 full

It does not seem like log rotate is working in the latest version, as you can see, we updated on the 24th and since then all the logs are in the full file.

So I am looking at the /etc/logrotate.d/asterisk logrotate file, and indeed, things has changed.

Latest version of VitalPBX:

/var/log/asterisk/messages
/var/log/asterisk/event_log
/var/log/asterisk/full
/var/log/asterisk/dtmf
/var/log/asterisk/fail2ban {
        daily
        rotate 2
        minsize 500M
        missingok
        compress
        delaycompress
        notifempty
        sharedscripts
        create 0640 asterisk asterisk
        su asterisk asterisk
        postrotate
                /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger reload' > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
        endscript
}

/var/spool/mail/asterisk {
    daily
    missingok
    rotate 2
    minsize 100M
    notifempty
    sharedscripts
    create 0660 asterisk mail
    su asterisk mail
}

/var/log/asterisk/queue_log {
    daily
    missingok
    rotate 30
    notifempty
    sharedscripts
    create 0640 asterisk asterisk
    su asterisk asterisk
    postrotate
                /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger reload' > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
    endscript
}

And the below if from a VitalPBX 3.1.1-1

/var/log/asterisk/messages
/var/log/asterisk/event_log
/var/log/asterisk/full
/var/log/asterisk/dtmf
/var/log/asterisk/fail2ban {
        daily
        rotate 7
        missingok
        compress
        delaycompress
        notifempty
        sharedscripts
        create 0640 asterisk asterisk
        su asterisk asterisk
        postrotate
                /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger reload' > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
        endscript
}

/var/spool/mail/asterisk {
    daily
    missingok
    rotate 7
    notifempty
    sharedscripts
    create 0660 asterisk mail
    su asterisk mail
}

/var/log/asterisk/queue_log {
    daily
    missingok
    rotate 30
    notifempty
    sharedscripts
    create 0640 asterisk asterisk
    su asterisk asterisk
    postrotate
                /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger reload' > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
    endscript
}

@miguel as you can see, things are definetly different and the logs aren’t rotated every day

The logs aren’t rotating because the file is less then the minsize (500M)

This issue got addressed on VitalPBX 3.1.3
