we have a script running on our Kamailio servers which dumps all online users with kamctl ul show, parses it and then sends it to database. (For explanation, we started doing it this way because we noticed at least

an older (open)ser release that SER would completely stop working for a couple of seconds while writing registered users to database every 5 minutes. When dumping it, we don't see any disruption.)
what about fixing this bug instead of using this workaround? This sounds really inefficient.
Actually, piping the output through awk and generating a file for LOAD DATA INFILE" is not too bad. Additionally, we need to have that data in more than one DB, which prevents us from using one of the built-in db modes. We use an own DB mode which reads only on startup and then never touches the DB again.
I don't think there is a hard limit. Do you see any errors (e.g. memory allocation issues) in the server logs? Another idea, if you're somehow stuck to the old/ buggy version of the server, what about using DB_ONLY mode?
I don't see any errors in the log. And actually, that's the only bug left preventing our migration from 1.5 to 3.1. And I'd say, DB_ONLY is not an option, should be a lot less performant than if Kamailio keeps the state in memory (although I haven't benchmarked it).
Other ideas?
Best regards, Sebastian
