Kamailio + rsyslog, still writing logs to /var/log/syslog in DEBUG_MODE

[lgg]

Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
version: kamailio 4.3.4 (x86_64/linux)

/etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg:

### LOG Levels: 3=DBG, 2=INFO, 1=NOTICE, 0=WARN, -1=ERR
#!ifdef WITH_DEBUG
debug=4
log_stderror=yes
#!else
debug=2
log_stderror=no
#!endif

memdbg=5
memlog=5

log_facility=LOG_LOCAL0

/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf

local0.*            -/var/log/kamailio.log

kamailio.log file

-rw-r--r-- 1 syslog adm 1788189 Apr 14 12:09 /var/log/kamailio.log

If i disable WITH_DEBUG in kamailio config - it writes log to /var/log/kamailio.log, if i enable it - kamailio write logs to /var/log/syslog.

Of course, i already tried to restart rsyslog/kamailio and reboot server.

If you enable WITH_DEBUG you also enable the option "log_stderror". This option redirects logging to stderr, which is what you see.

Please check the documentation for that option.

some dirty work around worked for me. Now, I can see DEBUG messages in my custom log file.

#!ifdef WITH_DEBUG
debug=4
log_stderror=no (changed from yes)
#!else
debug=2
log_stderror=no
#!endif

i did the following and it is working fine for me

kamailio.cfg
log_stderror=no

/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
local0.* -/var/log/kamailio.log

touch /var/log/kamailio.log
chmod 777 /var/log/kamailio.log

service rsyslog restart
service kamailio restart
