Hello,

if it is pkg, then you have to see which process is increasing the use of memory, because it is private memory, specific for each process. The sum is an indicator, but the debugging has to be done for a specific process/pid.

Once you indentify a process that is leaking pkg, execute the rpc command:

  - https://www.kamailio.org/docs/modules/devel/modules/corex.html#corex.rpc.pkg_summary

When that process is doing some runtime work (e.g., handling of a sip message), the syslog will get a summary with used pkg chunks. Send those log messages here for analysis. You have to set memlog core parameter to a value smaller than debug.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi all,

I had a Kamailio crash the other day, and some debugging showed I ran out of PKG memory.

Since then I’ve run a simple bash script to compile the amount of memory used by all child processes, effective /usr/local/sbin/kamcmd pkg.stats | grep real_used summed together. I’ve graphed out the data, and there’s a clear growth of PKG memory going on, mostly increasing during our busier daytime hours.

Based on this, I suspect either a module loaded or something within my app_ruby conf is leaking memory.

I’ve been reading through https://www.kamailio.org/wiki/tutorials/troubleshooting/memory, but I’m a bit nervous, as I’m not really a C/deep memory type of guy. I can see a GDB script I can attach to Kamailio, but is that going to use significant resources to run or impact the running process? Is there a newer/better/alternative way to do this, and to help me break this down?

Thanks!

Andrew
