Hello!

We use Kamailio in conjunction with the cloud Azure Database for MySQL 5.7. It has been noticed that Kamailio does not always start after restarting.

It happens to restart a couple of times and everything starts normally.

From the pickup trace I collect on our side, it can be seen that Kamailio connects to MySQL, requests and gets data, and then sends a Request Quit.

On another server with a different configuration (slightly different set of modules) and connected to the same database, this issue is not reproduced.

How to determine the source of the problem?

Below, the logs are filtered by PID of processes in which an error occurred:
