Hi Brooks, 

While I was trying to figure issue out with my dispatcher issue here is something that I think might work for you. It do requires modifying little bit C code to pull some weight from a redis/memcache of remote destination and use that value instead. Somewhere in this function of dispatcher module possibly:

Ref: https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/blob/master/modules/dispatcher/dispatch.c

/*! \brief
* Timer for checking probing destinations
*
* This timer is regularly fired.
*/
void ds_check_timer(unsigned int ticks, void* param)

Since this is probing at regular intervals, code is already there all it needs is to get a number and set it as the destination's weight. 


Just my crazy idea, but Daniel or Kamailio team might suggest something much better than this. 

Regards,
Sammy

So I’m building a load balancer solution that needs to monitor remote devices at a specific interval via snmp for certain data (channels and cps) and use that data to create a dynamically updated weight for each of the destinations.  I can’t find any reasonable mechanism for updating the weight attribute in the dispatcher module itself without having to do some hacky “update the database column then trigger dispatcher.reload” script, which I very much want to avoid.

 

Is this something I should just be thinking of ditching the dispatcher module and rolling my own design or am I missing something obvious?
