$jsonrpl(body) empty or malfunctioned during higher traffic - sr-users

30 Oct 2019

Hello, Kamailio community,
we are implementing evapi communication to our Kamailio server. We have
implemented and tested it on our testing server. Everything was working OK.

Now we are testing it on our production servers with a lot more calls and
we have some problems here.
Every n seconds we are requesting from Kamailio list of all dialogs. And
this list of dialogs (from jsonrpc *dlg.list*) is sent to evapi connection.
Here is a snippet of our *Kamailio code*:

route[CGR_DLG_LIST]
{
        xlog("L_INFO", "XLOG: $ci [CGR_DLG_LIST] Requested dialog
list");
        # CGRateS connection is still alive, set check to true
        $sht(cgrconn=>check) = 1;
        if $sht(cgrconn=>cgr) == $null {
                sl_send_reply("503","Charging controller
unreachable");
                exit;
        }
        jsonrpc_exec('{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,
"method":"dlg.list","params":[]}');
        xlog("L_INFO", "XLOG: $ci [CGR_DLG_LIST] Test1:
$jsonrpl(body)");

        evapi_relay("{\"event\":\"CGR_DLG_LIST_REPLY\",
                        \"jsonrpl_body\":$jsonrpl(body)}");
}

During a higher number of calls Kamailio is generating ERROR messages from
evapi module. Here is the syslog:

We enabled debug messages for module evapi and are trying to understand
where is the problem. To make this work to this state we needed to increase
the *pv_buffer* to really big size (2097152).
It looks like $jsonrpl(body) is not ready and everything concated with it
is not working.

Any help or suggestion is welcomed.
