Kill child process created by app_python module
by Marat Gareev 11 Nov '22

11 Nov '22

Hello! I'm trying to use app_python module to perform periodic actions. This is a simple python code def _update(): while True: _action() time.sleep(60) class noop_handler: def child_init(self, rank): return 0 def ksr_request_route(self, msg): return 1 def mod_init(): # signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, signal.default_int_handler) proc = multiprocessing.Process(target=_update) # proc.daemon = True proc.start() ksr.notice('Forked process {} to update\n'.format(proc.pid)) return noop_handler() After killing kamailio processes with SIGTERM signal (killall kamailio) I see zombie process. And if I try to process the signal in daemon mode (see the comments in the snippet above), I get critical errors in the logs and still see processes: 0(37001) NOTICE: <core> [core/kemi.c:124]: sr_kemi_core_notice(): Forked process 37002 to update 1(37003) ERROR: <core> [core/udp_server.c:464]: udp_rcv_loop(): recvfrom:[4] Interrupted system call Process Process-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 258, in _bootstrap self.run() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 114, in run self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) File "/tmp/script.py", line 155, in _update time.sleep(period) KeyboardInterrupt 0(37001) ALERT: <core> [main.c:774]: handle_sigs(): child process 37002 exited normally, status=1 0(37001) INFO: <core> [main.c:802]: handle_sigs(): terminating due to SIGCHLD 1(37003) ERROR: <core> [core/udp_server.c:464]: udp_rcv_loop(): recvfrom:[4] Interrupted system call 8(37014) CRITICAL: <core> [core/pass_fd.c:277]: receive_fd(): EOF on 4 1(37003) ERROR: <core> [core/udp_server.c:464]: udp_rcv_loop(): recvfrom:[4] Interrupted system call So, how I can kill child process by SIGTERM signal?

Pipelimit needs restart to reload values
by Duarte Rocha 02 Nov '22

02 Nov '22

Greetings, I've been using the pipelimit module and the pl_check function to control users rates in my proxy. if (!pl_check("$var(UserID)", "TAILDROP", "$var(UserRate)")) { pl_drop(); exit; } In this case $var(UserID) is the pipe and $var(UserRate) is the maximum rate. The value of the rate is retrieved on every call via query to a DB. If I change the UserRate value to 0 CPS on the DB calls are not rejected unless they go over 1 CPS. However, if I restart Kamailio all calls are correctly rejected. Why does this happen? Can I change this behaviour? Cheers, Duarte

Recommended openSSL version
by Igor Olhovskiy 19 Oct '22

19 Oct '22

Hello! Due to I still experience irregular Kamailio 5.4 crashes (like 1/month) related to SSL (using websockets and SIPS) I'm wondering, could openSSL upgrade change the situation? As of now in CentOS 7 I have 1.0.2k version. Does anyone have experience to fix crash-related to TLS problems with openSSL upgrade? Or maye some tuneup of TCP parameters can help here?My current setup is quite simple: children=4 enable_tls=yes tcp_accept_no_cl=yes tcp_connection_lifetime=600 tcp_max_connections=998976 # 1000000 - 1024, so we're leaving 1k for system reserve tls_max_connections=998976 Number of clients ~ 200 constantly connected to websocket. -- Best regards, Igor

Testing dialog module (and acc with dialog cdrs)
by Daniel-Constantin Mierla 18 Oct '22

18 Oct '22

Hello, as I am not a user of dialog variables, I am turning to community to ask for help testing the current master branch with configurations that make use of dialog variables and acc dialog-based cdr generation. With a few reports of issues related to dialog modules and unexpected crashes, I looked over the code and noticed that the access of the value for dialog variables was not protected, making them vulnerable of invalid memory access in case of the variable was updated by another process or dialog was terminated. I introduced a couple of new functions to try to cover different use cases of getting the dlg variable values, dialog management code was not affected, but given that these commits need to be backported to stable branch (5.6), I want to get proper feedback from community that things work fine. A previous attempt of a simpler fix was not enough, having side effects to acc module for dialog-based cdr generation, because it was keeping referenced to many dlg variables at the same time. In short, it would be appreciated any feedback on testing dialog and acc with dialog-based cdr generation using git master branch.

loose_route() clarification
by Mack Hendricks 30 Sep '22

30 Sep '22

Hey All, I always struggle with loose_route() and I implemented workarounds in the past. But, I want to get a better understanding. I have a SIP Endpoint -> Kamailio -> FreeSWITCH The domain and alias is set to the ip address of the Kamailio server (137.184.130.206) When I get the ACK back from the SIP Endpoint it looks like this ACK sip:18889072085@137.184.72.42:5060;transport=udp SIP/2.0 Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.1.10.140:1052 ;branch=z9hG4bK-524287-1---740db0025fa217ce;rport Max-Forwards: 70 *Route: <sip:137.184.130.206;lr>* Contact: <sip:1000@50.192.97.226:53790;transport=UDP> To: <sip:18889072085@dsiptest.dsiprouter.net>;tag=5gv4etZ8tUUcH From: <sip:1000@dsiptest.dsiprouter.net;transport=UDP>;tag=0af5b751 Call-ID: fWido7VIUKIEI6f6kf4vkQ.. CSeq: 1 ACK User-Agent: Z 5.5.8 v2.10.17.2 Content-Length: 0 Kamailio will then remove the ACK and change the RURI to itself, which causes an ACK loop. This is what is look like *ACK sip:137.184.130.206;lr* SIP/2.0 Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 137.184.130.206;branch=z9hG4bK3fd.0cf34b683f0627ee2455594ea6cb2517.0 Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.1.10.140:1052 ;received=50.192.97.226;branch=z9hG4bK-524287-1---740db0025fa217ce;rport=1052 Max-Forwards: 69 Contact: <sip:1000@50.192.97.226:1052;transport=UDP> To: <sip:18889072085@dsiptest.dsiprouter.net>;tag=5gv4etZ8tUUcH From: <sip:1000@dsiptest.dsiprouter.net;transport=UDP>;tag=0af5b751 Call-ID: fWido7VIUKIEI6f6kf4vkQ.. CSeq: 1 ACK User-Agent: Z 5.5.8 v2.10.17.2 Content-Length: 0 *Question:* What am I missing here? We have the alias set and we even set it in the domain module (with the register_myself flag). We have workarounds for this, but I would prefer to figure out how to have Kamailio handle this natively via the loose_route or tm module. Thanks in advance,

Keepalive dialog with SIP/TLS OPTIONS
by Denys Pozniak 30 Sep '22

30 Sep '22

Hello! In order to keep the SIP/TCP connection alive for some specific clients (more precisely, specific firewalls) in long calls, I use periodic SIP OPTIONS probes through the dialog module. I noticed that when subscribers are using the SIP/TLS protocol, such keepalives are not sent (with SIP/UDP and SIP/TCP working well). I did not detect any obvious errors in the debug mode. Are there any ideas why the messages are not being sent for SIP/TLS leg? ---- loadmodule "dialog.so" modparam("dialog", "db_url", "DBURL") modparam("dialog", "db_mode", 1) modparam("dialog", "ka_timer", 5) modparam("dialog", "ka_interval", 30) modparam("dialog", "ka_failed_limit", 2) modparam("dialog", "send_bye", 1) modparam("dialog", "track_cseq_updates", 1) modparam("dialog", "default_timeout", 7205) ----- dlg_manage(); dlg_set_property("ka-src"); dlg_set_property("ka-dst"); -- BR, Denys Pozniak

Kamailio stops responding to OPTIONS for some time
by Muhammad Danish Moosa 30 Sep '22

30 Sep '22

Hi, With Kamailio 5.5.3 (with KEMI/Lua) I noticed it apparently had stopped responding to OPTIONS in my test system. It can cause problems if a similar issue appears in production. Only thing i could observe it was apparently responding to INVITE and CANCEL etc randomly , its pretty strange as it was not dead completely. There was no core dump, I restarted and it started functioning again. Any clues please? -- Muhammad Danish Moosa " The core of mans' spirit comes from new experiences. "___ Christopher McCandless

http_async_client "route_name" is what type of route?
by Brooks Bridges 30 Sep '22

30 Sep '22

Running into an issue where I can't access certain functions inside the response route or "route_name" for handling the asynchronous reply from an http_async_query() that's being run. Does anyone know what type of route that is considered to be? I know it's not a request route or a failure route based on the errors I'm getting, but I can't find anything that outlines what that route actually is. Thanks! Brooks Bridges 1200 S.

Interactions of dmq_usrloc and usrloc w/db_mode > 0
by Alex Balashov 29 Sep '22

29 Sep '22

Hi, Are there any known contraindications for replicating contacts using dmq/dmq_usrloc, and injecting those contacts into a database on one of the nodes using usrloc with `db_mode` 1 or 2? Predictably, this is being done to support the use-case of getting registration status from database. If you think this should be done with JSONRPC, I am in complete agreement with you, but it’s not up to me. :-) I am doing this with `db_mode` 2 now, and finding that, for a small number of AORs, one can find instances where they are consistently stored in memory but not present in the `location` table. The overall proportion of these AORs, out of thousands, seems to be quite small. It was initially somewhat higher, and it went down once I increased usrloc `timer_processes` and increased the sync interval from 30 to 60 seconds. Nevertheless, it is still non-zero, and I am getting intermittent reports. I wonder if there are some prior experiences with this and anything to watch out, or if `db_mode` 1 might be a superior choice. I personally cannot see how that would be; it seems to have all the performance downsides of mode 3. But perhaps if something about it is more “problem-free” vis-a-vis DMQ, it’s worth a shot? — Alex -- Alex Balashov | Principal | Evariste Systems LLC Tel: +1-706-510-6800 / +1-800-250-5920 (toll-free) Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.csrpswitch.com/
