Ok so my findings so far:

1- db_mode=2 --> No errors.
2- db_mode=1 --> The reported error.
3- modparam("usrloc", "server_id_filter", 1) --> Irrelevant, errors happen with or without it on db_mode=1.

Anything else I can try in order to find out what is happening? My next step was to enable mysql logs or capture traffic and see what exactly is Kam sending...

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks, 
Joel.

Hi Henning, 

Every time I register, NodeA says OK, sends location by DMQ to NodeB, nodeB logs the error.

I tried moving the VIP from NodeA to NodeB, and the error stops happening on NodeA, and starts happening on NodeB.

I did not see this happening with db_mode=2, and I *think* it started happening when I enabled the server_id related params? I'm not 100% sure of this so I'm going to try some different combinations to see if I can narrow it down a little and provide more accurate details for you guys to find the issue.

I'll report back shortly...

Thanks! 
Joel.

Hello Joel,

 

Feb 24 13:58:46 csbc02 csbc[9280]: ERROR: <core> [db.c:481]: db_use_table(): invalid parameter value

So the table name seems to be ok - this function also log this error if the DB connection handle is not initialized. But still the question why this happens.

 

Cheers,

 

Henning

Hello,

the error message:

Feb 21 00:11:25 csbc02 csbc[13916]: ERROR: <core> [db.c:481]: db_use_table(): invalid parameter value

Is printed if the database table name is not given as parameter (eg, null or empty). I pushed a patch to usrloc to print the table in the log message, can you try with latest master (or patch from next commit) and send again the log messages?

Hello, 

 

I have a setup with 2 kamailio in active/idle, locations are shared via dmq_usrloc, but database is also used as a cache where other systems can access and query "real-time" data.

 

The config we have is:

 

# ----- usrloc params -----
modparam("usrloc", "db_url", DBURL)
modparam("usrloc", "db_mode", 1)
modparam("usrloc", "db_load", 0)
modparam("usrloc", "db_insert_update", 1)
modparam("usrloc", "db_timer_clean", 1)
modparam("usrloc", "server_id_filter", 1)
modparam("usrloc", "timer_procs", 2)
modparam("usrloc", "timer_interval", 60)

 

# ----- dmq_usrloc params -----
modparam("dmq_usrloc", "enable", 1)
modparam("dmq_usrloc", "sync", 1)
modparam("dmq_usrloc", "batch_msg_contacts", 50)  # 50 contacts / message
modparam("dmq_usrloc", "batch_size", 10000)       # 10000 contacts / batch
modparam("dmq_usrloc", "batch_usleep", 500000)    # one batch every 500ms

 

With this setup, we assume:

 

1- almost real-time updated location info in the database.

2- as long as one of the two Kam is up, location information will not be lost (as they will sync with each other via DMQ)

3- if both servers go down, locations are lost (as they will not reload from database on startup).

 

Our tests work well with the above config, with one exception, on the idle node, we see a lot of (only happens on the node receiving location via dmq):

I added debug logs to see if I could understand the reason:

Can anyone help me understand what's the problem? I have the server_id setting, and the modparam server_id_filter, so shouldn't the receiving node just ignore any database tasks?

 

 

Thanks, 

Joel.
