[SR-Users] Orphan Dialog Vars: Probable cause found!

Hi List I wonder if some of the devs could look at the dialog code and maybe confirm my observation of this supposed Bug in Kamailio 5.6 Situation: Two Kamailio, dialog counters synced via DMQ and each node using a local DB as dialog backend. Goal is to count channel usage per customer. modparam("dialog", "db_mode", 1 ) modparam("dialog", "enable_dmq", 1) modparam("dialog", "h_id_start", -1) # Use server_id modparam("dialog", "h_id_step", 2) modparam("dialog", "profiles_with_value", "custcallcounter") If 'JohnDoe' is involved in a call, I do: set_dlg_profile("custcallcounter","JohnDoe"); To check how many calls are busy by JohnDoe I do: get_profile_size("custcallcounter","JohnDoe","$var(channel_use)"); Picture this situation: JohnDoe is initiating a first call via Node1: Node1 created the dialogue and variables, writes them to the database and replicates the dialog vars to Node2 => IN MEMORY Nothing about the running dialog is being written to the Database on Node2, but get_profile_size returns the count on Node2. So while the first call aka dialog is running via Node1, JohnDoe is initiating a second call, this time via Node2. Node2 creates the dialog and writes this to the database. Then the profile with Name 'JohnDoe' is INCREASED on Node2. This is when I suddenly find the dialog_vars on the Node2 database containing information about the dialog started on Node1. So I guess writing to a dialog counter triggers the dialog_vars being written to the Database. When JohnDoe is ending it's first call, then the dialog and dialog_vars are cleaned out of the database on Node1, but NOT on Node2 What I fear happens next: They dialog_vars remaining on the Database of Node 2 accumulate more and more, making the database slower. When a call happens to re use the same hash id and entry, things start going really badly. Could I be right? -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen -Benoît Panizzon- @ HomeOffice und normal erreichbar -- I m p r o W a r e A G - Leiter Commerce Kunden ______________________________________________________ Zurlindenstrasse 29 Tel +41 61 826 93 00 CH-4133 Pratteln Fax +41 61 826 93 01 Schweiz Web http://www.imp.ch ______________________________________________________
