As you suggested I increased the debug level from -1 to 3 and I got this Kamailio log:
Mar  4 15:40:21 server-xip-01 /usr/local/sbin/kamailio[29417]: DEBUG: <core> [io_wait.h:602]: io_watch_del(): DBG: io_watch_del (0xa20dc0, 3433, -1, 0x0) fd_no=2922 called

Looking for this warning into the log, I realized that there are a lot of these messages:

As far as I know, I should increase the tcp_children parameter, right?.
Now, it’s set to 16 but it’s pretty clear which is not enough. I increased it step by step till 48 but that’s still not enough.
If I set it to 64 then Kamailio failed to start.

What would you recommend for a server which has more or less 5K users?

Many thanks.
T.

Hello!
You can try to increase the debug printing level (like debug=2 or even debug=3) and check syslog when Kamailio gets stuck.


ср, 4 мар. 2020 г. в 13:12, Tomas Zanet <tzanet at came.com<mailto:tzanet at came.com>>:
Hi All,

In these days I'm facing an issue or a misconfiguration, I don't know, with our remote apps (SIP clients) and our cloud server in which there's a Kamailio version 4.4.4.
Sometimes our app takes some seconds (about 10-12sec) to connect to the Kamailio socket (sips on 5061) and our app is stuck on connect sytem call.

To debug this behaviour I put a rule in the iptable like this:
sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 5061 -m state --state NEW  -j LOG --log-level 1 --log-prefix "New Connection "

when everything goes well, there is one row which describes the new incoming connection Mar  4 07:08:40 server-xip-01 kernel: New Connection IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=bc:76:4e:20:1f:fb:e8:ed:f3:3a:52:41:08:00 SRC=X.X.X.X DST=Y.Y.Y.Y LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=45 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=15819 DPT=5061 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 CWR ECE SYN URGP=0

when our app gets stuck in the connect, there are many attempts and seems that Kamailio is not ready to accept this connection:
Mar  4 07:11:54 server-xip-01 kernel: New Connection IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=bc:76:4e:20:1f:fb:e8:ed:f3:3a:52:41:08:00 SRC=X.X.X.X DST=Y.Y.Y.Y LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=45 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=52900 DPT=5061 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 CWR ECE SYN URGP=0 Mar  4 07:11:54 server-xip-01 kernel: New Connection IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=bc:76:4e:20:1f:fb:e8:ed:f3:3a:52:41:08:00 SRC=X.X.X.X DST=Y.Y.Y.Y LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=45 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=52900 DPT=5061 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Mar  4 07:11:55 server-xip-01 kernel: New Connection IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=bc:76:4e:20:1f:fb:e8:ed:f3:3a:52:41:08:00 SRC=X.X.X.X DST=Y.Y.Y.Y LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=45 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=52900 DPT=5061 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Mar  4 07:11:55 server-xip-01 kernel: New Connection IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=bc:76:4e:20:1f:fb:e8:ed:f3:3a:52:41:08:00 SRC=X.X.X.X DST=Y.Y.Y.Y LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=45 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=52900 DPT=5061 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Mar  4 07:11:55 server-xip-01 kernel: New Connection IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=bc:76:4e:20:1f:fb:e8:ed:f3:3a:52:41:08:00 SRC=X.X.X.X DST=Y.Y.Y.Y LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=45 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=52900 DPT=5061 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Mar  4 07:11:56 server-xip-01 kernel: New Connection IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=bc:76:4e:20:1f:fb:e8:ed:f3:3a:52:41:08:00 SRC=X.X.X.X DST=Y.Y.Y.Y LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=45 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=52900 DPT=5061 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Mar  4 07:11:56 server-xip-01 kernel: New Connection IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=bc:76:4e:20:1f:fb:e8:ed:f3:3a:52:41:08:00 SRC=X.X.X.X DST=Y.Y.Y.Y LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=45 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=52900 DPT=5061 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Mar  4 07:11:56 server-xip-01 kernel: New Connection IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=bc:76:4e:20:1f:fb:e8:ed:f3:3a:52:41:08:00 SRC=X.X.X.X DST=Y.Y.Y.Y LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=45 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=52900 DPT=5061 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Mar  4 07:11:58 server-xip-01 kernel: New Connection IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=bc:76:4e:20:1f:fb:e8:ed:f3:3a:52:41:08:00 SRC=X.X.X.X DST=Y.Y.Y.Y LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=45 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=52900 DPT=5061 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Mar  4 07:12:00 server-xip-01 kernel: New Connection IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=bc:76:4e:20:1f:fb:e8:ed:f3:3a:52:41:08:00 SRC=X.X.X.X DST=Y.Y.Y.Y LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=45 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=52900 DPT=5061 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Mar  4 07:12:05 server-xip-01 kernel: New Connection IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=bc:76:4e:20:1f:fb:e8:ed:f3:3a:52:41:08:00 SRC=X.X.X.X DST=Y.Y.Y.Y LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=45 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=52900 DPT=5061 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 When it happens our app takes more than 10 sec to connect to the Kamailio socket.

I tried to increase the children configuration parameter in the cfg file because I thought there were not enough tcp receiver but with no luck.
Here are some configuration parameters:

children = 16 // was 8 before found this issue

# life time of TCP connection when there is no traffic # - a bit higher than registration expires to cope with UA behind NAT
tcp_connection_lifetime=3605

open_files_limit=8192

tcp_max_connections=8192
tls_max_connections=8192

Here is the output of the ulimit command:
ulimit -a

data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited

virtual memory          (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks                      (-x) unlimited
In the kamailio log file I don't see anything wrong, I don't see messages like "[tcp_main.c:3913]: handle_new_connect(): maximum number of tls connections exceeded".

Here is the output of kamctl ps command

Can anyone address me to find out this happens, please?
