Hello,
 
Lately our OpenSER 1.1.1 is running out of memory and I get the following message
 4(25190) get_hdr_field: out of memory
The result is that it stops processing any incoming request. This is a production system and of course it causes a great deal of frustration.
 
The last time this happened I got the following statistics before restarting
> ./openserctl fifo get_statistics
Total statistics = 37
Total modules = 5
Module name = core; statistics=8
core:rcv_requests = 3259334
core:rcv_replies = 8816
core:fwd_requests = 736
core:fwd_replies = 137
core:drop_requests = 743
core:drop_replies = 0
core:err_requests = 0
core:err_replies = 43
Module name = shmem; statistics=6
shmem:total_size = 268435456
shmem:used_size = 1675864
shmem:real_used_size = 1835104
shmem:max_used_size = 4399048
shmem:free_size = 266600352
shmem:fragments = 17710
Module name = sl; statistics=9
sl:1xx_replies = 0
sl:2xx_replies = 1690410
sl:3xx_replies = 43
sl:4xx_replies = 334827
sl:5xx_replies = 1185629
sl:6xx_replies = 0
sl:sent_replies = 3210909
sl:sent_err_replies = 0
sl:received_ACKs = 743
Module name = tm; statistics=11
tm:received_replies = 8636
tm:relayed_replies = 7096
tm:local_replies = 1718
tm:UAS_transactions = 7003
tm:UAC_transactions = 94
tm:2xx_transactions = 1528
tm:3xx_transactions = 3
tm:4xx_transactions = 5129
tm:5xx_transactions = 468
tm:6xx_transactions = 0
tm:inuse_transactions = 0
Module name = usrloc; statistics=3
usrloc:location-users = 0
usrloc:location-contacts = 0
usrloc:location-expires = 7282
 
I am not sure how to read these numbers but I see a big "free_size" and still OpenSER is out of memory. Any suggestions?
 
thank you
 
George
