causesASTERISK-25510 [patch]Log to syslog failing
Environment:Slackware Linux x86-64Attachments:( 0) 25407_v1.patch
Description:When configuring more than one syslog destinations in logger.conf, Asterisk will only log to the last one in the configuration. For example:

syslog.local1 => error, warning, notice
syslog.local2 => security

Everything is logged to local2.

This is due to the fact that the final call to openlog() in make_log_channel() supersedes the previous calls. My humble suggestion would be to eliminate the openlog() call, as the syslog() call in ast_log_vsyslog() will open the log as needed; pass the channel facility to ast_log_vsyslog() and use the LOG_MAKEPRI macro to ensure the message is sent to the correct facility. I have tested this successfully on my system and will post a patch to reviewboard in the morning.

Thanks,
Elazar
