Common Error Messages and their Meanings

Error Message	Problem
rtp.c: Comfort noise support incomplete in Asterisk (RFC 3389). Please turn off on client if possible. Client IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX	This may or may not be an issue.  If you have a local client that has comfort noise support on, turn it off.  If it is a Provider, you may want to set RTP-Keep Alive.  Note if you have no music on hold and you place a client like this on hold, they will be disconnected if you have set RTP Timeout or RTP Timeout on hold, once this timer has elapsed.
NOTICE chan_sip.c: Disconnecting call 'SIP/XXX-XXXXXXX' for lack of RTP activity in 11 seconds	If you have RTP Timeout set, (which is a good thing).  Then a call to SIP/<EXTENSION# or PROVIDER NAME> was terminated because voice traffic that was expected did not transmit for 11 seconds.
Call from to extension 'XXXX' rejected because extension not found	Someone tried to make a guest call to your system.  If Guest calls are allowed under PBXSetup->SIP, then they can be made to 's' by or any dids only.  If you notice a lot of these and that your system performance is degrading, it is recommended that you do a packet capture to determine the offending IP address and then block it with an ACL entry to prevent system performance from being affected. Note if from has an extension in it then it indicates that a number that is not supported by the dialplan was dialed.  Like 1 for instance.
WARNING[19775] app_queue.c: Unable to join queue 'rg_2'	Due to any number of configuration reasons, the call was not able to join the group. It could be the group is empty, it could be the group has a limit to how many calls it can process at one time.
ERROR[18636] utils.c: write() returned error: Broken pipe	This means that an audio file was playing (MOH, Prompt, VM) and the call was ended (user hung up, call dropped, etc).
WARNING app_dial.c: Unable to create channel of type 'SIP' (cause 20 - Unknown)	This occurs when someone tries to dial a SIP device that is supposed to be there but for some reason it cannot be contacted.  This could be an extension that was registered but is not responding because it has lost power, it could be a SIP provider that cannot be reached.  There are a lot of issues that can cause this message.
