Re: [asterisk-users] constantly increasing load in Asterisk 11.14 (Sebastian Damm)
Have you considered doing a daily reboot? In our shop (about 14 sites, busiest doing about 90 000 calls per day) we found it best to reboot each Asterisk instance at 23:45 - we're still running an ancient version (1.8.0.11). Once this regime was instituted our major Asterisk issues stopped, especially load-related issues linked to uptime. Note that we do not just restart the Asterisk process, we reboot the entire machine. We're running on bare-metal on Centos 6.5. Maybe you can try doing that, if at all practical? Our business needs fortunately this side is telecoms are only requires 08:00 - 17:00...

[asterisk-users] Question regarding custom announcements used by several Asterisk servers
Hello, Got a question regarding custom announcements in Asterisk. My goal is to allow my users record their own queue announcements and choose which announcements they want to use in each queue. I have several Asterisk servers and a Kamailio server which dispatches call traffic between the Asterisks. Question is, is it possible to have something like a NSF disk shared between several asterisk servers and store custom announcements there, where all Asterisks would use them? I expect to have to place the files under whatever I configure in asterisk.conf. Additionally, can I place the announcements in subfolders under that directory and in my realtime queue table use values something like '/subfldr/myannouncement'? Keep up the good work! cheers, Olli -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] IAX2 problem for WAN connections
Hi, I am trying to connect two Asterisk servers using IAX2. Everything works fine when I couple them within a LAN segment, but not when I connect them using WAN connections. I made sure that the routers' ports are mapped properly and checked this with additional ssh rules. ServerA is a Raspberry box with the vendor's Asterisk version 1.8.13.1 and ServerB is normal CentOS 7 box with Asterisk 13.1. Calling from ServerB to ServerA works, but not vice versa. The only odd thing that appears to me is the different perceived port on ServerA.

Re: [asterisk-users] constantly increasing load in Asterisk 11.14
Can you tell me if the memory usage by Asterisk is also increasing with load over time?

We've had an 11.5.1 machine running for about half a year without the need of restarting, but right now, this is not possible. Has anyone seen this before? Or does anyone know a reason, what change somewhere between 11.6 and 11.14 could cause this behaviour? It looks like we have to go back to 11.6.

Re: [asterisk-users] IAX2 problem for WAN connections
I found a way that works. Essentially, I deleted the register lines and added the hosts with deny all and specific permit specs. I don't know why it works, but it does. jg -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

We see it in the certified version which is currently 11.6. We have about 50% higher call volume on our servers than yourselves and it does take about 3-4 months for the load to reach about 5. I don't know what causes it but we take the servers out of our load balancing and restart asterisk every few months and this returns the load to normal. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
