Security Event Logger

In addition to the infrastructure for generating the events, one module that is a consumer of these events has been implemented.

Asterisk trunk was recently updated to include support for dynamic logger levels. This module takes advantage of this functionality to create a custom "security" logger level. Then, when this module is in use, logger.conf can be configured to put security events into a file:

    security_log => security

The content of this file is a well defined and easily interpretable format for external scripts to read and act upon. The definition for the format of the log file is described later in this chapter.
