> If the option is rtcachefriends=yes then realtime info about peers and users is in cache, no errors, but after sip reload command the errors come in the CLI.
> [Edit by Rusty - adding comment from MMichelson below]
> Hi, I think I see what is happening here.
> Internally, when a realtime peer is retrieved, Asterisk creates an {{ast_endpoint}} structure. When that peer is destroyed, the {{ast_endpoint}} is destroyed as well. Part of the destruction of the {{ast_endpoint}} involves clearing the Stasis cache of all information about that endpoint. The problem here is that the act of creating the {{ast_endpoint}} is not enough to actually put any information in the Stasis cache. Instead, something has to happen, such as a state change, in order for the Stasis cache to have any information about that endpoint. When a device registers, chan_sip creates an {{ast_endpoint}} structure, processes the REGISTER, and then destroys the {{ast_endpoint}}. When the {{ast_endpoint}} is destroyed, there is nothing to destroy in the Stasis cache, so an error message is emitted. When you use rtcachefriends, {{ast_endpoint}} structures persist for the lifetime of the module and so you do not see this error message.
> As it stands, this error message is noisy but it should not negatively affect operation. I think the proper fix here is to downgrade that message from an error message to a debug message.
