Hello,
you can play with the rtpengine module timeout parameter to get a faster detection of down rtpengine daemons.
https://kamailio.org/docs/modules/5.5.x/modules/rtpengine.html#rtpengine.p.rtpengine_tout_ms
If you have some other detection/failover logic, it could also just deactivate the rtpengine on the affected kamailio services by RPC commands.
Cheers,
Henning

Subject: [SR-Users] Re: Cannot achieve rtpengine HA
Hi, thank you!
Probably the subject of this email is slightly misleading, the actual issue that we have is that kamailio sticks to the rtpengine node selected in the beginning of the call.
If rtpengine node goes down and there are active calls, kamailio continues to try to communicate with it, when it is already inactive:

Hi,
You have to move the IP address of the original rtpengine node to the „failover” node also.
All of the virtual interfaces must exist on both nodes and you have to enable non local IP bind support in the Linux kernel to achive this.

Zoltan

Subject: [SR-Users] Cannot achieve rtpengine HA
Hello,
We are trying to achieve rtpengine HA solely with kamailio and rtpengine module.
In the following example call goes to rtpengine node 10.5.0.183:22222 and then we stop rtpengine service on this node to simulate failure.
Client is triggering re-INVITE, but, apparently, kamailio sticks to initially selected rtpengine, producing the following errors:
