Hello, first, it is better if you test with latest version from the branch 5.3, because 5.3.2 is already outdated in that series. Otherwise, we may troubleshoot a side effect of an issue already fixed. Second, the function that allocated most of the shm memory is related to transaction, cloning the message in shared memory. Can you fetch the stats and see how many transactions are listed when you face that issues? kamctl stats Cheers, Daniel On 25.06.20 11:11, José Seabra wrote: Hello there. During my stress tests against our kamailio servers I detected that it was running out of shm memory. edge-sip-proxy[6119]: ERROR: ESP_LOG: 10405249-1580(a)10.225.121.206: <core> [core/mem/q_malloc.c:298]: qm_find_free(): qm_find_free(0x7ff370920000, 4224); Free fragment not found! edge-sip-proxy[6119]: ERROR: ESP_LOG: 10405249-1580(a)10.225.121.206: <core> [core/mem/q_malloc.c:432]: qm_malloc(): qm_malloc(0x7ff370920000, 4224) called from core: core/sip_msg_clone.c: sip_msg_shm_clone(496), module: core; Free fragment not found! edge-sip-proxy[6119]: ERROR: ESP_LOG: 10405249-1580(a)10.225.121.206: <core> [core/sip_msg_clone.c:499]: sip_msg_shm_clone(): could not allocate shared memory from shm pool edge-sip-proxy[6119]: ERROR: ESP_LOG: 10405249-1580(a)10.225.121.206: tm [t_lookup.c:1293]: new_t(): out of mem: edge-sip-proxy[6119]: ERROR: ESP_LOG: 10405249-1580(a)10.225.121.206: tm [t_lookup.c:1439]: t_newtran(): new_t failed edge-sip-proxy[6119]: ERROR: ESP_LOG: 10405249-1580(a)10.225.121.206: sl [sl_funcs.c:392]: sl_reply_error(): stateless error reply used: I'm terribly sorry, server error occurred (1/SL) The output of kamctl stats shmem confirms that kamailio is running out of memory: { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": [ "shmem:fragments = 36427", "shmem:free_size = 14123552", "shmem:max_used_size = 268435456", "shmem:real_used_size = 254311904", "shmem:total_size = 268435456", "shmem:used_size = 215787904" ], "id": 10901 } Then I was check what was the module that were consuming more memory with kamcmd mod.stats all shm and the output of this command showed me that Core module was consuming most of shm memory, as you can see bellow is the output of this command shows that Core - build_req_buf_from_sip_req is consuming most of shm.

If the information that I'm sending in this email is not enough to identify the root cause of this, please let me know if there is anything else that I can do here to help identify better what is the main reason.
