Hi Daniel
SeLinux is disabled, as I have played around with Children and got a
stable startup at CHILDREN=3, at 4 and up I get the problem described
earlier right away, so it seems that MySQL is throttling Kamailio ?
1- What is the effect of running 3 children only ?
the capacity of handling sip
traffic is lowered. You should still be
able to handle couple of hundred messages per second if you don't have
slow sql/dns operations. For production, it is recommended to have at
least 8 to be in safe side.
2- I know this is not a Kamailio thing, but any idea
about what needs
to be changed on MySQL server to accommodate more children ? No of
connections is 500 conns out of which max 120 are utilized
So mysql is on a
different server, right? Are you sure there is no other
switch/router doing such throttling? Can you watch on both kamailio and
mysql server to see if the connections are initiated from kamailio and
reaching mysql? Maybe you can discover if mysql server get the tcp
connection but refuses it -- not sure if mysql server can run in
debug/verbose mode to get some log messages with hints about what is the
problem.
If the tcp connection does not get to mysql server, then it is a
throttling in mysql client library or on a device in between the servers.
If you do 'kamctl ps' when having children=3, how many kamailio
processes are there (extra should be timers, ...)? Each should have one
mysql connection, so it helps to see at which number the limit starts.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Daniel
Running on a LAN with no firewalls enabled,
limits can be from kernel, selinix, mysql server a.s.o. not only from
firewalls.
will try you suggestion
though first thing tomorrow morning, what are the implications of
running children=1 ?
This will create only one worker process (not advisable for production in
long term, just for testing) -- in this way there should be very few mysql
connections opened, revealing if there is a problem or not with the number
of connections and the short period to create them.
Cheers,
Daniel
Thanks

Hello,
check also for limits in the system/firewall, maybe there are limits on
new
connections per second. Try with children=1 and see if it happens again,
if
not, then it is something that blocks many new connections in short time.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi,

not
complete to trace the issue. Did you see the same Errors every time it
