UDP workers block when one or more rtpengine instances go offline

by Sebastian Damm

Hi, we run multiple rtpengine servers to share the load. Whenever we need to take an rtpengine server offline, we used to just block the control port via iptables, then no new calls ended up on this instance of rtpengine. This worked pretty well in Kamailio 4.4.5. However, since Kamailio 5.0, and the problem persists with 5.1.4, Kamailio hangs almost immediately after we block the control port traffic. In the log file there are almost no packets processed except every few seconds, which looks like a timeout thing. Did we configure anything wrong there? Or is the "dead rtpengine detection" just broken? Our configuration: loadmodule "rtpengine.so" modparam("rtpengine", "rtpengine_disable_tout", 120) modparam("rtpengine", "setid_avp", "$avp(rtpsetid)") modparam("rtpengine", "rtpengine_sock", "0 == udp:1.2.3.4:9001=2 udp:1.2.3.5:9001=2 udp:1.2.3.6:9001=2") modparam("rtpengine", "rtpengine_sock", "1 == udp:2.3.4.5:9001=2") Any help appreciated. Regards, Sebastian

kamcmd htable.reload propertiesHash problem

by Ginhoux, Patrick

Hi, I run Kamailio 5.0.1 with MariaDB database. There is no issue at the initialization, meaning the db is opened by kamailio and the hash tables loaded from the db tables. Example: # kamcmd htable.dump propertiesHash { entry: 1 size: 1 slot: { item: { name: cfg.env But the htable.reload command fails: error: 500 - Failed to open htable db connection The Kamailio log reports that it can't connect the db : DEBUG: ctl [../../core/io_wait.h:380]: io_watch_add(): DBG: io_watch_add(0x7f68c74ab300, 10, 3, 0xdc9410), fd_no=1 DEBUG: ctl [io_listener.c:442]: handle_new_connect(): handle_stream read: new connection (1) on /var/run/kamailio//kamailio_ctl DEBUG: <core> [core/sr_module.c:694]: find_mod_export_record(): find_export_record: found <db_bind_api> in module db_mysql [/usr/lib64/kamailio/modules/db_mysql.so] DEBUG: <core> [db.c:209]: db_bind_mod(): using db bind api for db_mysql DEBUG: <core> [db.c:314]: db_do_init2(): connection 0x7f68cc354c10 not found in pool DEBUG: db_mysql [km_my_con.c:98]: db_mysql_new_connection(): opening connection: mysql://xxxx:xxxx@/siprouter ERROR: db_mysql [km_my_con.c:124]: db_mysql_new_connection(): driver error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2 "No such file or directory") ERROR: <core> [db.c:318]: db_do_init2(): could not add connection to the pool ERROR: htable [ht_db.c:92]: ht_db_open_con(): failed to connect to the database My local db is located at /myqdata/mysiprdb/data where is the mysiprdb.sock file. But the log shows that Kamailio is looking for /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. Does this error make sense to you ? Is it possible to fix this problem by configuration in Kamailio ? My kamailio.cfg script contains : # ----- htable modparam("htable", "db_url", "mysql://[kamailio]/siprouter") modparam("htable", "fetch_rows", 1000) modparam("htable", "htable", "mbxrangeHash=>size=4;dbtable=mbxrange;") modparam("htable", "htable", "abpqHash=>size=12;dbtable=abpq;") modparam("htable", "htable", "zabpqHash=>size=12;dbtable=zabpq;") modparam("htable", "htable", "propertiesHash=>size=4;dbtable=properties;") In the /myqdata/mysiprdb/data/my.cnf, I added the following entries for Kamailio: [kamailio] socket = /myqdata/mysiprdb/data/mysiprdb.sock user = siprouter password = ########## default-character-set = utf8 Thanks all for help.

Re: [SR-Users] problem with compiling kamailio version 5.1.4 including a private Module

by Abdulaziz Alghosh

Hello Henning, thanks a lot for your response and explanation. strutils.[c,h] and strcommon.[c,h] are almost the same. So I modified my included header from stcommon[] to strutils as you mentioned. Unfortunately, I surfed sequentially Kamailio version upgrades. Even though, i did not found such hints about this modification. So I have some doubts the called headers and codes from our own module. Hence, I am asking for yor advice. What I am trying to do now is compiliing our module separately under it is own directory so I gain the Shared Object file (.so). Somehow our Module is requring cds, presence and xcap libraries. But the strange thing is that headers from these libraries are #including other headers assuming these included header files are under the same library's directory (but in fact most of the header files are under ../src/core/). For example : Making in cds CC (gcc) [L libser_cds.so.0.1] cds.o In file included from cds.c:2: /Abdul/install/clean_test/kamailio-5.1.4/src/lib/cds/../cds/memory.h:125:21: warning: mem/mem.h: No such file or directory /Abdul/install/clean_test/kamailio-5.1.4/src/lib/cds/../cds/memory.h:126:25: warning: mem/shm_mem.h: No such file or directory In file included from cds.c:3: /Abdul/install/clean_test/kamailio-5.1.4/src/lib/cds/../cds/sync.h:30:22: warning: locking.h: No such file or directory In file included from cds.c:4: /Abdul/install/clean_test/kamailio-5.1.4/src/lib/cds/../cds/logger.h:42:20: error: dprint.h: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [cds.o] Error 1 make[1]: [cds] Error 2 (ignored) Those libraries are delivered with version 5.1.4 itself so i do not think it is a good idea to modify the paths of the included header files to compile my module. because most probably these libraries are needed by standard default modules of kamailio. I hope this is not too much for you to inspect. Note: The attached has the log files ( resulting from make all and install ) .

problem with compiling kamailio version 5.1.4 including a private Module

by Abdulaziz Alghosh

Greetings, i am somehow newbie with Kamailio and trying to migrate from kamailio version 3.0.3 to 5.1.4. Former fellows had developed own modules which needed "strcommon.h" and "strcommon.c". These last two files are not delievered with version 5.1.4. but I copied them under ../src/core/ thinking it would be beneficial. Unfortunately, after make prefix / (and including our own module) all, it seem that several dependencies exist. Especially from header files under ..src/lib/xcap/ and ../src/lib/presence Can somebody tell me how "strcommon.h" and "strcommon.c" where replaced in version 5.1.4 ? Best regards Abdul Aziz

Questions about changes between 5.0.1 and 5.0.7

by Ginhoux, Patrick

Hi, Following a problem with the kamcmd htable.reload with Kamailio 5.0.1 (see related thread for this), I have upgraded to the 5.0.7 level (with some difficulties due to my specific environment). My server runs the RHEL 7.4 distribution. Now the upgrade is complete, I notice that that are changes not really documented: - The kamailio-perl-5.0.7-1.el7.x86_64.rpm requires to install the mod_perl module that doesn't exist anymore in RHEL 7. It needs to be installed from the EPEL repository - The init script for kamailio has been changed from the old method to the fully compliant method for system unit for RHEL 7 for example: With the 5.0.1 level we have the "/etc/rc.d/init.d/kamailio" With the 5.0.7 level we have now the "/usr/lib/systemd/system/kamailio.service" So my questions/comments are : - Why the mod_perl module is required between 5.0.1 and 5.0.7 (question posted in the attached message) ? - In the previous kamailo init script, I added a condition to start MySQL before kamailio by adding this entry in the script : # Required-Start: $syslog $network $mysqld The new script contains the After command : [Unit] Description=Kamailio (OpenSER) - the Open Source SIP Server After=network.target Should I change the After line with this : After=network.target mysql.target to have the same condition? In all the cases, some documentation must be changed to provide more details. Thanks in advance for the answers. Cordialement. Patrick GINHOUX

RTPEngine UDP receive queue issue

by Alex Balashov

Hi, We have an RTPEngine that occasionally finds itself in this state of CPU usage: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 25476 root 20 0 2929600 80820 1900 S 156.2 0.1 259:05.54 rtpengine The journal is a dizzying stream of: Aug 06 20:58:47 gw1 rtpengine[25476]: ERR: [1074537188_44545952 port 61666]: Too many packets in UDP receive queue (more than 50), aborting loop. Dropped packets possible It eventually leads to increasing CPU usage and a degeneration of audio quality until RTPEngine is restarted. It would be appreciated if someone could shed some light on the nature of this queue and what we can do about this problem. Is this referring to a netfilter packet forwarding queue, or is it a receive queue of the RTPengine user space control process? Can its size be increased or tweaked with kernel parameters?

I am using Kamailio (5.0.1) and MSILO module for offline messages but I have a problem with users behind NAT. According to module overview, MSILO is forwarding the offline messages to contact address provided in REGISTER request. Is there any way to overcome this and send the messages to the external client IP? Thanks, Michalis Michael
