Hi,

Thanks,

How do i find memory leaks?

when my application starts the it shows the following values:

 

shmem:fragments = 143898

shmem:freesize = 3446570952

shmem:max_used_size = 861854768

shmem:real_used_size = 848396344

shmem:total_size = 4294967296

shmem:used_size = 319676976

 

I divided the "real_used_size" with the "total_size" and notice that it is 20%. So, this is my initial value of the application.

 

After 2 months with 40,000 calls per day, the relations between these values is 39%. (doing a reload of the data that occupies 20% failed due to "no memory")

So, 19% occupation of memory is normal for this amount of calls? or is it a memory leak? if it is a memeory leak, how do i see where?

avp's are associated with the transactions, so they free'd when the
transaction stops(and calls are composed of transactions). This is true
for dialog information as well (dlg_var's etc.). Continuous growth in
memory at a constant call rate (incoming sip requests) might mean a
leak. If you need statistics about the total memory usage you can use
`kamctl fifo get_statistics all` and check for the shmem real_used_size
and max_used_size fields.
