Re: [asterisk-users] Unix connections not always disconnecting
Hello, Same issue happens on one of our Call Center installation (using Asterisk 1.6) - random unresponsive Asterisk with self heal after 2-3 minutes. Because we could not find the root cause (till now - many thanks Ishfaq) we end up by nightly restart on Asterisk. We are using CLI commands more heavier (more than 10 commands at each 10 seconds) and it is clear now that we have to switch to AMI. However it remains the question related on why the Unix connections are not disconnecting sometimes and how to force a cleanup if this could not be solved.

[asterisk-users] Unix connections not always disconnecting
Hi We are using asterisk 1.8.23.1 We have a script that runs on a minute cron which polls the asterisk server for 3 bits of information by using asterisk -rx 'command' which then gets pushed to a graphite server we have 99% of this runs smoothly. Every now and again, the asterisk service will become completely unresponsive and if we look at the logs we will see the following: [2013-11-07 00:17:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:17:01] VERBOSE[26566] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:17:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:17:01] VERBOSE[26586] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:17:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:18:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:18:01] VERBOSE[26650] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:18:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:18:01] VERBOSE[26670] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:18:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:19:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:19:01] VERBOSE[26736] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:19:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:19:01] VERBOSE[26756] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:19:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:20:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:20:01] VERBOSE[26820] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:20:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:20:01] VERBOSE[26841] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:20:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:21:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:21:01] VERBOSE[26914] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:21:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:21:01] VERBOSE[26934] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:21:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:22:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:22:01] VERBOSE[27000] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:22:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:22:01] VERBOSE[27020] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:22:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:23:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:23:01] VERBOSE[27084] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:23:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:23:01] VERBOSE[27104] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:23:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:24:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:24:01] VERBOSE[27170] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:24:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:24:01] VERBOSE[27190] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:24:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:25:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:25:01] VERBOSE[27255] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:25:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:25:01] VERBOSE[27276] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:25:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:26:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:26:01] VERBOSE[27624] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected [2013-11-07 00:26:01] VERBOSE[25963] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection [2013-11-07 00:26:01] VERBOSE[27644] asterisk.c: -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected As you can see, at these times there isn't a disconnect for every connect. I think this ends up maxing out the amount of connections the service allows and that's what makes it unresponsive. A service restart fixes the issue at this time. This happens completely randomly, I've not been able to correlate this happening with any other events that are going on at the time. Can anyone think of any reason why doing the asterisk -rx command might not disconnect cleanly? Thanks
