Re: [SR-Users] Problem faced when Using Kamaiio as Session Refresher

Hi Daniel, I have shared the logs at debug=3 level. Location: https://justpaste.it/6xmum  I do see the sst and dialog module are loaded at startup and Even that the sst module sees the Session-Expires value. But somehow the dialog module doesn't seem to recognize it. Please see the excerpts from the log below: Mar 23 15:14:39 CPaaSVM kamailio: 1(4248) DEBUG: {1 1 INVITE 1-5214(a)172.27.44.121 <mailto:1-5214@172.27.44.121>} sst [sst_handlers.c:668]: ki_sst_check_min(): Session-Expires: 200; MIN-SE: 100 Mar 23 15:14:39 CPaaSVM kamailio: 1(4248) DEBUG: {1 1 INVITE 1-5214(a)172.27.44.121 <mailto:1-5214@172.27.44.121>} sst [sst_handlers.c:692]: ki_sst_check_min(): Done returning false (-1) ............  .............  Mar 23 15:14:39 CPaaSVM kamailio: 1(4248) DEBUG: {1 1 INVITE 1-5214(a)172.27.44.121 <mailto:1-5214@172.27.44.121>} dialog [dlg_handlers.c:681]: get_dlg_timeout(): invalid AVP value, using default timeout Can you please take a look?  Regards, Harneet  On Mon, Mar 23, 2020 at 3:42 PM harneet singh &lt;hbilling(a)gmail.com <mailto:hbilling@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi Daniel, I have attached here the logs at debug=3 level.

Maybe the callback functions from sst are not called when dialog is handling the sip traffic. You should run with debug=3 and look at the debug messages to see if there are some printed from sst module. Watch also for other error or warning log messages, they may indicate that some processing could not be done. Eventually you can make the debug messages (from kamailio start to processing of the dialog) available somewhere online (e.g., pastebin) so we can look at them and analyze.
