[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk server lockup

2004-03-30 Thread Gary Franczyk
Hello,

We are trying to deploy a new asterisk server with a Wildcard T400P (quad
T1) card.  It uses a custom voice recording app written in the perl AGI.

Now that the machine has been in production, it seems to lock up within 24
hours of reboot!  When it locks, we can ping the machine, but we cannot log
in using telnet or ssh.  Asterisk stops answering the phone and our Big
Brother monitoring scripts stop sending data.  Nothing is shown in the
messages log.  The script we are using seems to be ok, since it exits after
every

My first guess is that it could be running out of memory (since I can still
ping it, the kernel must be working to some extent).   I don't have a
console attached to this machine yet, so I can't tell you what is displayed
on the screen yet.  (I will get one soon) Has anyone seen any asterisk lock
ups like this before?

Thanks

Gary Franczyk

We have seen the exact problem with a production system.  We found out that
it was due to the monitor application connection.  We feel it has a memory
leak and there is never any error other then it starts to slow down in
playing back message and other small signs.  We have stopped using the
Gastman and other monitor applications.  The problem has gone away.  As a
test we started using the Gastman again and after 24 to 36 hours it would do
the same slow down then lockup.  We also have set up a schedule event to
restart the system once a week.  And have not used Gastman nor any
application that uses the monitor.  Sorry this is not a fix but we are
looking into either redoing the monitor application or waiting till someone
fixes this.

pinging a machine doesn't mean any user level applications are even
running. Look around and you should be able to find a router project
that you set your rules up then halt the kernel. At that point the
kernel continues to pass traffic, but there is nothing on the machine
that can be run until it is rebooted.

I also have seen that on newer checkouts though not based a specific
amount of time or number of calls. We have had great experience out of
older asterisk deployments. So much so that they stagnated due to no
need to upgrade to anything newer.
