Joining the development efforts and taking over the maintenance of db_perlvdb is more than welcome and appreciated!

As for this specific case, do you need to fetch data from Elastic that has to be used inside Kamailio (e.g., passwords for authentication), or just push data from Kamailio to Elastic stack? Maybe giving some specific example of what you need to pass from kamailio To elastic and the other way around would help us provide better hints about what can be used.

Cheers,

Thank you very much for you help.

Actually I need to support Elastic Search Engine (ESE) for a large data mining project integrated with Kamailio. The easiest way i thought to achieve that was to use Perl VDB or else i have to write up ESE module for kamailio myself.

I am going to test the changes you did to PERL VDB module and will fix up any minor issues to make it working again. Kindly do not remove it from kamailio repo. I am not expert in Kamailio APIs but have good coding experience with C / C++, so I am willing to provide maintenance and bug fixes for the module with your help on API side if needed.

Also, the new DB API for Kamailio, is there any documentation related to it available online. I want to study it and may be add later on a separate kamailio module exclusively for ESE for better performance and features specific to ESE.

Thank you.

Hello,

quite a surprise that someone is trying to use this module, I was considering to move it to obsolete repo, because nobody used it for so long and no developer updated it over the time.

The module was still compiling due to some casts, but the DB API was changed in the past and this module was left behind.

I did the update of the API (still some warnings that needs to be taken care), so you can try now with master branch. Maybe it goes on pretty well.

Otherwise I do not have to test or maintain the module, if you want to use it, you have to spend some time with it. I can help fixing bugs when they are obvious in the C code (like API changes) or a proper report is filled, but that's all I can do.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi,

Seems there are some serious problems with db_perlvdb. It gives segmentation fault as soon as i set it as db url for any module e.g. acc, sip_trace, msilo and so on.

Here is back-trace of core dump,

Hi,

I am trying to load db_perlvdb.so module using latest Kamailio branch v5.0.6 with git revision 49bd81ad7856dac9b2efd53597fb1c182de7440b on Debian Wheezy 32bit. The compilation and installation went successful however the module gives following error.

I tried to find module perl.so in modules folder of kamailio installation but there is none. Then i looked through the source code but no success.

After some googling, i found following link which states that perl.so was remained to app_perl.so since v4.x.

I have created a small patch for db_perlvdb.c which corrects this error.

Kindly update Kamailio master and branch trunks.
