Apologies if the initial report was unclear. The issue isn't with the actual counts
(which appear to be accurate), but that we are intermittently ending up with 2 keys in the
same entry instead of one per entry.
This makes parsing the data very difficult, and I cannot determine a reason it would be
doing this instead of putting each one in its own entry like it appears to do for almost
all of the values until it has run for a while.

Subject: Re: [SR-Users] Strange behavior with $shtinc
Did you monitor the values of those statistics over the time? If yes, was there a moment
when the value evolved unexpected?
Cheers,
Daniel

Let me preface this with the statement that as best I can tell from docs and code, this
function is supposed to be 100% atomic and this shouldn't be able to happen. I also
have not found anything in the module's github commit logs that would indicate this
behavior has changed from previous versions.
That being said, I appear to have run into an oddity where intermittently I'm getting
2 slots being put in the same entry, which results in trying to parse the output for
graphing and reporting not working quite right. The mechanism I'm using is a very
simple counter mechanism to record statistics about calls. As an example, I am using the
following mechanism:
$var(z) = $shtinc(callstats=>$avp(realm),cps_exceeded);
or
$var(z) = $shtinc(callstats=>$avp(realm),sessions_exceeded);
This typically results in something like this:
{
entry: 4335
size: 1
slot: {
{
name: realm1,total_requests
value: 2365034
type: int
}
}
}
{
entry: 4532
size: 1
slot: {
{
name: realm2,cps_exceeded
value: 30
type: int
}
}
}
And so on... However, one or more of them sometimes end up like this:
{
entry: 4646
size: 2
slot: {
{
name: realm1,total_requests
value: 15958026
type: int
}
{
name: realm2,cps_exceeded
value: 6432103
type: int
}
}
}
Thanks in advance for your help and/or suggestions!
