The error regarding Ast log file is a clue. Associated with that, I notice that in you secast.conf’s [asterisk] stanza you have set the securityevents key to an Asterisk log file.

This (securityevents) key is only for compatibility with really old (1.4 and older) versions of Asterisk. This setting also disables SecAst’s ability to get more advanced data from Asterisk. If you are running a more recent Asterisk version please set this key to blank (empty). We actually plan to remove this key in a future release of SecAst.

Once you have made that change let me know how SecAst is working. As well, I suggest you upgrade to SecAst 1.6.x as we have added additional features.
