### Description Ka servers A(172.22.247.37) and B(172.22.247.232) use the keepalive module to check if each other's status is available. When one server such as B is down, server A will still send about 16 OPTIONS messages. When A sends the 14th or 15th OPTIONS, ka on A will change B's status to down. At this point, if B restarts, B will reply 200OK to A’s OPTIONS message, and A will change B's status to alive, but A will not send OPTIONS message to B any more. Even if B dies later, B's status will be alive on A forever. ps: if B is restart at the 14th OPTIONS or earlier, A will correctly send heartbeat OPTIONS to B later. if B is restart at the 16th or later, A will not change B's status to alive, and certainly will not sends OPTIONS to B anymore, but this is correct isn't it? question is obviously B’s status is alive on A, but A sends no OPTIONS to B. ### Troubleshooting   #### Reproduction 1. set keepalive config ant A ``` loadmodule "keepalive.so" modparam("keepalive","ping_interval",3) modparam("keepalive","destination","172.22.247.232") ``` use ka_is_alive function check B's status. 2. restart A server and confirm that the OPTIONS status is correct. 3. stop the B server until the number of retran messages reaches 15. 4. restart B server, and check OPTIONS #### Log Messages  #### SIP Traffic  at the time that the arrow points to, 172.22.247.232's status is 1(refers to the log above). but notice that there is no OPTIONS message to 172.22.247.232 anymore.   ### Possible Solutions ### Additional Information * **Operating System**: ``` Linux localhost.localdomain 3.10.0-1127.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 31 23:36:51 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux kamailio 5.5.2 ``` -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/issues/3028 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
