[asterisk-users] Asterisk 13.22.0 under very high load conditions - freezes in H exten and blocks new calls
Hi all I'm running an Asterisk on an Intel XEON E5-2660 virtual with Centos 7 - 32GB RAM. When I approach about 320 channels, I -sometimes- get thousands of these messages suddenly streamed in the CLI / Asterisk log: WARNING[60753][C-00022cb9] channel.c: Exceptionally long voice queue length queuing to Local/xxxxxxxxxx at local-0002dbea;2 WARNING[71993][C-00022dcc] channel.c: Exceptionally long voice queue length queuing to Local/xxxxxxxxxx at local-0002dd10;2 WARNING[72848][C-00022dd1] channel.c: Exceptionally long voice queue length queuing to Local/xxxx at local-0002dd30;1 Top reports system load as 30.0, but the box is still very responsive over SSH. Asterisk is shown as consuming 600% CPU when NOT in this state (but close to it) and doesn't consume more as this state comes into effect. Top also shows that HT CPU instances are idle 40% of their time. What then happens when these messages appear is Asterisk stops accepting originates on the AMI, and that no CDRs write through to the CDR DB anymore - MySQL itself is idle and has no locks or running inserts indicated in "show processlist" in MySQL CLI. The Asterisk instance will then effectively freeze, never hanging up terrminated calls, and never allowing new cals to start, keeping around 320 channels open, forever. Thing is I can sometimes peak at over 350 channels, then come back down as answers, hangups, etc. take place - no problem. But -sustaining- more than 320 channels over a two or three minutes seems to reliably cause the above to happen. Asterisk has to be kill -9'ed to get it restarted, it ignores kill -1 / sighup / cli "core stop now" CLI does work and is still repsonsive in this state, until I do a "core stop now", which doesn't stop the instance even after 20 to 30 minutes. Asterisk max load is set to 40 and max calls to 350. Any idea what I can look at? Any tips for running specifically 13 under high load? Thanks Stefan

Are you using NFS? Any ODBC connections?

[asterisk-users] Asterisk 13.22.0 under very high load conditions - freezes in H exten and blocks new calls
Hi Dovid
No NFS connections are in use. Directly mounted EXT4 SSD (emulated, this is in a
virtual environment).
Yes, I'm using ODBC to connect to the MySQL instance that records my CDRs.
Thanks for the reply!
Stefan

Top reports system load as 30.0, but the box is still very responsive over
SSH. Asterisk is shown as consuming 600% CPU when NOT in this state (but
close to it) and doesn't consume more as this state comes into effect.
Top also shows that HT CPU instances are idle 40% of their time.
What then happens when these messages appear is Asterisk stops accepting
originates on the AMI, and that no CDRs write through to the CDR DB anymore
- MySQL itself is idle and has no locks or running inserts indicated in
"show processlist" in MySQL CLI.
The Asterisk instance will then effectively freeze, never hanging up
terrminated calls, and never allowing new cals to start, keeping around 320
channels open, forever.
Thing is I can sometimes peak at over 350 channels, then come back down as
answers, hangups, etc. take place - no problem. But -sustaining- more than
320 channels over a two or three minutes seems to reliably cause the above
to happen.
Asterisk has to be kill -9'ed to get it restarted, it ignores kill -1 /
sighup / cli "core stop now"
CLI does work and is still repsonsive in this state, until I do a "core
stop
now", which doesn't stop the instance even after 20 to 30 minutes.
Asterisk max load is set to 40 and max calls to 350.
Any idea what I can look at? Any tips for running specifically 13 under high
load?
Thanks

[asterisk-users] Asterisk 13.22.0 under very high load conditions - freezes in H exten and blocks new calls
Hello, Hard to tell but from [1], " Exceptionally long voice queue length queuing" should not happen. 1. Are you seeing WARNING or ERROR instances in log before this "Exceptionally long voice" WARNING ? 2. If possible, I would try to load test a similar setup with SIPp and see if I can reach or exceed this 320 channels/160 calls limit.
