Re: [SR-Users] lost sip messages

Hey all, looking for a little help. I've been tracking an issue, where a number of SIP Messages ( typically INVITE ) are sent, but Kamailio only see one of them ( the last one).  I have verified that the messages are definitely received on the host, as verified with TCPDUMP, but the INVITES never hit the request route block. ( the very first thing is to log the message ) What i've managed to find is, that if I increase worker children, the problem goes away. So I've got a problem, I think I've found the solution, but what I'm struggling with is how to monitor better, so I can be alerted to this in the future. I started by looking at "kamctl stats | grep drop"     "core:drop_replies = 14",     "core:drop_requests = 10577" however drop_requests seems to include explicit drops in my config. which I do for many reasons, but mainly bad UA or blocked IP's, so this dosnt seem to be what im after. I then went digging in the code ( often the best way to find things ). in receive.c receive_msg() we find some conditions, where we drop the packet ( before calling request route ). right now im looking around line 251 at  LM_DBG("dropping the received message\n");  goto error00; Following error00 I see it calls STATS_RX_DROPS which increments stats->received_drops. This is where it gets fun, I cant find where received_drops is ever returned in the stats output. I can see where -SIGUSR1 will trigger this to be dumped, if Kamailio is compiled with that option ( dosnt seem the debian packages are ).  however, what im seeking clarification on is, does this get reported in "kamctl stats" Am I just going crazy or is something not quite right here? TLDNR;  how do I monitor for Kamailio not having enough worker threads to process incoming messages. FYI I'm seeing about 50Mbps of incoming SIP on this box, and I do perform a decent amount of work on some message types. -- Sincerely Jay _______________________________________________ Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List sr-users(a)lists.kamailio.org https://lists.kamailio.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users
