Hello Daniel,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I can't really use the database records
to achieve what I want. The example in my previous message didn't show
this, but I would like to be able to differentiate between the following:
+----+-------+-------------------------+-------+----------+-
----------------------------+
| id | setid | destination | flags | priority |
attrs |
+----+-------+-------------------------+-------+----------+-
----------------------------+
| 1 | 1 | sip:111.111.11.1:5060 | 8 | 0 | socket=udp:
44.44.44.1:5060 |
| 2 | 10 | sip:111.111.11.1:5060 | 8 | 0 | socket=udp:
55.55.55.1:5060 |
+----+-------+-------------------------+-------+----------+-
----------------------------+
In this case, how can I tell which destination went down? The URI is the
same, but the sockets differ for each id.
If only $ru is available in these event routes, I can't query the database
because $ru matches both records. If I can't access the socket used with a
PV, is there any way to have access to *either* the id *or* the setid for
the destination for which the event was generated?
Thanks!
BR,
George

Hello,
those event routes are executed with a so called faked request (a request
generated internally, unrelated to the OPTIONS request sent to the wire),
apart of request uri, the rest of values are not related to the dispatcher
records.
To get access to other attributes of dispatcher records in a straight way
in the config, it would require C coding, Anyhow, even now using scripting,
you can try with sql queries to database or rpc commands execution via
jsonrpcs module and then parse the result using jansson module.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hello all,
I use the dispatcher module extensively for load balancing and fail-over.
My kamailio instance is multihomed, and I use the "socket" attribute to
determine which socket SIP messages should use for each dispatcher
destination, as such:
+----+-------+-------------------------+-------+----------+-
----------------------------+
| id | setid | destination | flags | priority |
attrs |
+----+-------+-------------------------+-------+----------+-
----------------------------+
| 1 | 0 | sip:192.168.0.1:5060 | 8 | 0 | socket=udp:
10.10.10.1:5060 |
| 2 | 1 | sip:111.111.11.1:5060 | 8 | 0 | socket=udp:
44.44.44.1:5060 |
| 3 | 1 | sip:222.222.22.2:5060 | 8 | 0 | socket=udp:
55.55.55.1:5060 |
+----+-------+-------------------------+-------+----------+-
----------------------------+
The dispatcher module uses OPTIONS to probe each destination for
availability. When a destination goes down or up, the respective
event-route is executed.
What I need to do is to be able to "capture" the sending socket used for
this probing when a destination becomes unavailable or available in the
event-routes. The $fs variable is set, but unfortunately its value does not
make sense. Here's an example route and the results that are printed:
event_route[dispatcher:dst-down] {
xlog("L_ERR", "Destination down: $rm $ru ($du) $ds $fs $Ru
$T_req($fs)
$T_req($Ru)\n");
}
Now say destination with id = '2' goes down. This is what I get in the
logs for the event_route above:
ERROR: <script>: Destination down: OPTIONS sip:111.111.11.1:5060 (sip:
192.168.0.1:5060) Contact: <sip:111.111.11.1:5060> udp:10.10.10.1:5060
<null> <null> <null>
The xlog PV/log mapping for the above line is the following:
$rm: OPTIONS
$ru: sip:111.111.11.1:5060
$du: sip:192.168.0.1:5060
$ds: Contact: <sip:111.111.11.1:5060>
$Ru: udp:10.10.10.1:5060
The rest are $null. $ru and $ds are consistent with the actual destination
being probed, $du and $fs are not (the are set to values corresponding to
id = '1', for some reason).
This log line is, of course, inaccurate. Not only does it not make sense,
but also this is not consistent with messages captured on network
interfaces using sngrep: Kamailio does indeed behave as it should, the
OPTIONS is sent out to 111.111.11.1 from socket
udp:44.44.44.1:5060. But this is not reflected in the log entry above
when the event_route is executed.
Now the weird part is that this OPTIONS "transaction" (which is locally
generated by kamailio) has the $du PV set to the value of another
destination (namely the that of id = '1'). As a result, the $fs PV is
consistent with that choice for $du. I can verify with sngrep that this is
not the case in reality, as the request was sent to destination id = '2'
from the correct socket as indicated above.
What I would like to ask is whether these "OPTIONS" used by dispatcher for
probing go through the request_route processing at some point. This is the
only way that would explain the $du PV being set to a false value. If yes,
is there any way to prevent this from happening? I need to be able to
access the $fs PV when a destination goes up or down, and I can't have any
other configuration file routes interfering with that. Thanks!
Best regards,
George
