How to check for presence of a file from a route? (Or any other way to tell kamailio not to accept new calls)

by Benoit Panizzon

Hi I'm still looking for a better way to tell Kamailio that we want to enter 'maintenance' and STAY in maintenance after a restart. Maintenance is: Reject all messages without totag with 503 to prevent creating new dialogues. I could use a shared pv and the use kamcmd pv.shvSet to toggle it. But when kamailio is restarted, that pv is also reset to it's initial state. Not good, if I want to make sure the node stays in maintenance mode after a restart as for example after pushing a config change via ansible. So what comes to my mind is to check for the presence of a file. something like: route[CHECK_MAINTENANCE] { if (!has_totag() && is_method("INVITE")) { if (file_exist("/etc/kamailio/maintenance.flag")) { xlog("L_ERR", "Maintenance flag present! Rejecting INVITE\n"); t_send_reply("503", "Maintenance mode - no new calls accepted"); exit; } } } Mit freundlichen Grüssen -Benoît Panizzon- -- I m p r o W a r e A G - Leiter Commerce Kunden ______________________________________________________ Zurlindenstrasse 29 Tel +41 61 826 93 00 CH-4133 Pratteln Fax +41 61 826 93 01 Schweiz Web http://www.imp.ch ______________________________________________________

Inconsistent behavior between reg_fetch_contacts (registrar module) and reginfo_handle_notify (pua_reginfo module)?

by Mohammad Hossein Ahmadi

Hello everyone, I have previously set up Kamailio 5.7.2 IMS configuration (including P-CSCF, S-CSCF and I-CSCF) and successfully made voice calls. Now I'm trying to set up an IP-SM-GW AS using the example here (with some tweaks): https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/blob/master/src/modules/smsops/example… Currently I'm trying to send the SMS using a SIP software client (MicroSIP). The problem is, while the SMS is received at the AS and stored in the database, it does not send it to the callee. While troubleshooting the problem, I've found that reg_fetch_contacts("location", "$var(uri)", "caller") in route[SEND_SMS] cannot find the contact which was added by reginfo_handle_notify("location") in route[NOTIFY] in the usrloc database. By tracing the problem more, I've found that reginfo_handle_notify (when handling reg event NOTIFY) adds the complete AoR in the "username" field in the location table, e.g. as "bob(a)ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org". But reg_fetch_contacts (when trying to send the SMS) looks up the table using only the user part in the "username" field, e.g. "bob". So it cannot find the callee contact and the configuration assumes the callee is still not registered; so it tries to send out a SUBSCRIBE every time it tries to send an SMS to the callee, instead of actually sending the SMS. Does anybody have any idea on what could have caused this inconsistent behavior between reginfo_handle_notify and reg_fetch_contacts?

Dispatcher list reloading itself from file?!?

by Benoît Panizzon

Hi List I wanted to take one of our cores down gracefully by not destroy running dialogues to be able to implement a config change on Kamailio 5.5 For this I did: kamctl dispatcher.remove ID SIP-URI, for every IC This worked fine, Kamailio is instructed to reply 503 on out of dialogue traffic from unknown endpoints causing the endpoints to re-route traffic to the other core, eventually making it possible to stop and restart Kamailio without harm. dialog count was steadily decreasing, until after about 10 minutes after removing the dispatcher URI's it started to increase again. kamctl dispatcher.list shows me, all dispatcher URI I removed are back! There is no ds_reload() being executed by calls. In the module description, I find no hint, that the dispatcher config is being reloaded from file in some interval or so. What could be the cause of my removed dispatcher suddenly being back? -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen -Benoît Panizzon- @ HomeOffice und normal erreichbar -- I m p r o W a r e A G - Leiter Commerce Kunden ______________________________________________________ Zurlindenstrasse 29 Tel +41 61 826 93 00 CH-4133 Pratteln Fax +41 61 826 93 01 Schweiz Web http://www.imp.ch ______________________________________________________

pseudo variable in include_file not possible

by Bernd Krueger-Knauber

Hi, since we use git also for our kamailio stuff, we need to check in also host specific stuff. (same kamailio.cfg but different addresses and ... ) For this I thought an include_file for different hosts would be nice, but I can not check in the different host specific files, because I can not use something like: |include_file "$HN(n).cfg" It is not allowed in kamailio 5.6.x Or better: the pseudo variable is not replaced. Is there a way to work arround, or is it possible to make it possible? Best regards Bernd |

Working with kamailio websocket and asterisk

by SAMUEL MOYA TINOCO

Good evening everyone, I'm trying to set a scenario with my extensions registered against kamailio via wss and then once authenticated forward the register to my asterisk. After this, I use dispatcher module to balance invites to my asterisks. I have a few questions, the first part seems to be working as I want but when asterisk receives an invite and responds with INVITE (SDP) it doesn't appear on my kamailio (but every other message appears) You can see it in this sngrep captures Kamailio: [cid:image001.png@01DA0E88.5F82F510] Asterisk [cid:image002.png@01DA0E88.5F82F510] I guess it is because something in my asterisk pjsip configuration is wrong but I can't figure out what. So I'm start to think that maybe It is because I need to configure an rtpproxy app to change SDP and make RTP traffic go through kamailio Maybe there's something else I need to do, or there's a guide to do this. But I can't find anything Any help will be very appreciated Thank you in advance Samuel Moya Tinoco Departamento de Sistemas y Redes Móvil: (+34) 606985997 smoya(a)vivelibre.es<mailto:smoya@vivelibre.es> [cid:image003.png@01DA0E88.5F82F510] Soluciones inteligentes para la autonomía personal

Info: qm and fm memory managers aligning addresses to 16 bytes

by Daniel-Constantin Mierla

Hello, following the Kamailio Developers Meeting discussions and provided that GNU/Linux malloc() aligns allocated memory to 16 bytes on x86_64 (64b CPUs), I just updated the native Kamailio qm (quick malloc - the default one) and fm (fast malloc) memory managers to also align to 16 bytes: - https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Aligned-Memory-Blocks.ht… By default they do it to 16 also for 32b CPUs, the overhead at startup with default config was rather insignificant (like 5000 bytes for private memory set to 8MB), so I didn't want to bother that much (that's also because some 32b CPUs could require larger alignment that the size of the pointer address), but for flexibility I added the an option to set the alignment size at compile time with KSR_MEMORY_ALIGN define (e.g., -DKSR_MEMORY_ALIGN=8UL). The main benefit at this moment is that Kamailio should be able to use the OS distribution (e.g., Debian) packaged libwolfssl instead of bundling and building the library inside it to compile with custom flags, like it is done now. Also, it is safe for the future to use other libraries that leverage internally the OS memory alignment size for specific optimizations. I also increased the optimize factor to 15, which should speed up a bit dealing with larger chunks of memory (now up to 32KB, previously was up to 16KB). Considering that it is more and more common to deal with larger SIP messages (e.g., a webrtc invite can easily be like 20KB) as well as tls/encryption needs addition space that the unencrypted udp/tcp. Hopefully these updates don't have side effects, it was nothing consistent changed, a few defines and fields to match the new alignment constraints. But testing is important, try to play with the master and your configs whenever you have any chance. Unfortunately the tlsf memory manager seems to be specifically designed for aligning to 8 bytes, a rather old related issue in that project is not concluded: - https://github.com/mattconte/tlsf/issues/16 That means the tls_wolfssl module linked with the officially packaged libwolfssl has to be used with qm or fm malloc from now on. Or it has to be built like so far to use tlsf memory manager. The tls/tlsa module can still be used with tlsf memory manager.

Development environment for the pre-commit hooks and clang-format

by Daniel-Constantin Mierla

Hello, during the Kamailio Developers Meeting 2023 in Dusseldorf early this week, Victor Seva shared how one can setup own development environment for facilitating the automatic checks for clang-format and few other useful bits (e.g., training white spaces) using pre-commit tool. So I thought it would be useful to shared further to both developers and users communities (as the later can make patches and pull requests as well). If I forgot something, Victor should amend me, but the main steps are: - install pre-commit package (either via apt or via pip3) - install clang-format (debian/ubuntu should have it as a package) - go to the folder with git clone of Kamailio source and run: pre-commit install The above command can take some time, but it is needed only once. After that, on evey commit, the checks should be performed a summary should be presented on screen, like: $ git commit src/ check yaml...........................................(no files to check)Skipped check xml............................................(no files to check)Skipped fix end of files.........................................................Passed trim trailing whitespace.................................................Passed check for merge conflicts................................................Passed mixed line ending........................................................Passed clang-format.............................................................Passed If the check of clang-format results in "Failed", like: clang-format.............................................................Failed the pre-commit hooks will correct it, so you can just run again the commit command and the 2nd time should be good to go. If for whatsoever reasons pre-commit is installed but you need to ignore/skip the pre-commit hooks, just provide -n or --no-verify to the commit command, like: $ git commit -n src/ By using pre-commit hooks, one could easily avoid making pull requests that are failing to meet the code formatting checks on github portal as well as ensure that as developer one does no forget to run clang-format before commit.

Issue with Dialog Handling in Kamailio Post 2-Minute Duration

by aaron.soto＠dialapplet.com

I'm encountering an issue with dialog handling in Kamailio. Initially, everything functions correctly, and if a connection terminates within two minutes, the BYE method works as expected. However, if the call exceeds two minutes, the BYE method doesn't seem to be recognized, and there are no related entries in the logs. As someone new to working with Kamailio, I'm finding this quite perplexing. Could anyone offer guidance or troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue? Thank you for your assistance.

Sharing load between rtpengine servers

by David Cunningham

Hello, We have a Kamailio configuration with the following, however all the load is going to the server at 22.22.22.22 (hiding the real IP obviously) instead of being shared evenly between 22.22.22.22 and 33.33.33.33. Can anyone please tell me why? The rtpengine server at 11.11.11.11 is intended to only receive calls if the other two are offline. Thank you very much. #!define RTPENGINE_ADDR "udp:11.11.11.11:7724=1 udp:22.22.22.22:7724=99999999 udp:33.33.33.33:7724=99999999" modparam( "rtpengine", "rtpengine_sock", RTPENGINE_ADDR ) -- David Cunningham, Voisonics Limited http://voisonics.com/ USA: +1 213 221 1092 New Zealand: +64 (0)28 2558 3782
