I was editing /etc/default/kamailio and changing the SHM_MEMORY parameter, however it does not appear to be doing anything.  When I modified the PKG_MEMORY setting in that file, it did seem to take effect.  I’m not clear on where I change the SHM_MEMORY setting to have it actually take effect.

This particular system is a test system, so there’s not a TON of activity.  Though the system itself has maybe 8 GB of RAM.  So we’re talking a handful of calls throughout a given day.  The service appears to crash maybe once every couple of days.  I bumped the SHM_MEMORY up to 512 over the weekend and restarted to see what impact that has. 

Which specific command are you looking for the output of, I’m blanking on which to run.

If you have a lot of traffic and registered devices, you can run out of it quickly. What is the number of registered devices and call setups per second/active calls at peak?

When you do a restart, can you grab the stats and see what are the values for shared memory?

Cheers,
Daniel

What is the value of shared memory you set for kamailio (-m parameter)? Maybe it is not sufficient for what you need to do.

Then what version of kamailio do you run (kamailio -v)?

The process that crashed (29438) has a different pid than the one (29468) printing the memory errors, so may or may not be related.

I feel fairly confident I’m running into a memory tuning issue, but I’m struggling to determine the next step.  Can someone give me some guidance on how to adjust settings to allow the system to stop crashing kamailio?
