Hello, thanks for the report. Could you maybe point out where the increase happens in the shared memory statistics, e.g. by doing some more calls and executing the stats command again? If you don't get a reply in time on the open-source support list, you can also open an issue on our github tracker, to have it documented. Regarding the mentioned production system issues, if you need defined response times on problems, maybe you might be interested in looking into the companies providing support services in our directory: https://www.kamailio.org/w/business-directory/ Cheers, Henning -- Henning Westerholt - https://skalatan.de/blog/ Kamailio services - https://gilawa.com<https://gilawa.com/> From: Vanderlei Torres Batistela via sr-users &lt;sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org&gt; Sent: Dienstag, 9.

Hello Daniel, I tried with git master branch and it works only for a simple event-route script where avp(msg) is not modified as below: # event route event_route[network:msg] { xlog("L_INFO", " Event_Route \n"); if (is_incoming()) { xlog("L_INFO", "Received message '$mb' \n"); $avp(msg) = $mb; xinfo("avp(msg) = $avp(msg)"); } else { xlog("L_INFO", "Sending message '$mb' \n"); $avp(msg) = $mb; xinfo("avp(msg) = $avp(msg)"); } } Then I tried it using this script as an example to set the message to send out: # event route event_route[network:msg] { xlog("L_INFO", " Event_Route \n"); if (is_incoming()) { xlog("L_INFO", "Received message '$mb' \n"); $avp(msg) = $mb; xinfo("avp(msg) = $avp(msg)"); } else { xlog("L_INFO", "Sending message '$mb' \n"); $avp(msg) = $mb; xinfo("var(x)= $var(x)"); $var(x)="a=3gOoBTC" + "\r" + "\n"; $avp(msg) = $(avp(msg){s.replace,$var(x),}); avp_print(); } } Examining the attached log I saw that for each INVITE retransmission (handled by another processor-pid) the avp (msg) is not freed and is accumulated. So I modified the script to delete the avp(msg) before using it and that fixed the issue. 2) Delete avp(msg) before using it # event route event_route[network:msg] { xlog("L_INFO", " Event_Route \n"); if (is_incoming()) { xlog("L_INFO", "Received message '$mb' \n"); $avp(msg) = $mb; xinfo("avp(msg) = $avp(msg)"); } else { xlog("L_INFO", "Sending message '$mb' \n"); $(avp(msg)[*]) = $null; <---------------------------------------------- $avp(msg) = $mb; xinfo("var(x)= $var(x)"); $var(x)="a=3gOoBTC" + "\r" + "\n"; $avp(msg) = $(avp(msg){s.replace,$var(x),}); avp_print(); } } This workaround also fixed the issue in the original 5.8.2 version.
