Hello,
then have a look to the server stats and IO load during the test case when you observe the particular blocking issues. You should be able to see something then, if its caused from the
Kamailio logging to syslog.
Cheers,
Henning

Hi Alex,
Thanks for your suggestions.
Yes we’ve tested the underlying storage. We specifically upgraded drives on the particular testing server I am using at the moment, and are using a ZFS volume.
But to answer your specific questions,
# hdparm -t /dev/sda2
/dev/sda2:
Timing buffered disk reads: 4118 MB in 3.00 seconds = 1372.43 MB/sec
Also, %iowait remains at 0. I did see it briefly go to %0.13 for one cycle when I sent 2000 simultaneous registrations to Kam.
It doesn’t appear to be the disk subsystem.

That’s the only place that I know.
Have you tested your storage throughput? Even something as simple as `hdparm -t /dev/sda`[1]?
What about monitoring background I/O demand, i.e. `iostat -x 1`? Look at the %util on the drive being written to.
I know you said your log isn’t being written to the local disk, but other storage activity could still be pushing up your I/O base load.
