George Joseph commented on ASTERISK-29232:
------------------------------------------

[~lukeescude] Would it be possible for you to get a coredump of a running asterisk instance that shows the issue?  It would interrupt calls for a few seconds but it would be very helpful.   There don't have to be lots of calls in progress so it could be done in a low volume period as long as the memory usage was excessive.

Grab the latest ast_coredumper script from https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/raw/16/contrib/scripts/ast_coredumper
and run it with {{sudo ./ast_coredumper --running --tarball-coredumps}}.
The resulting tarball will be fairly large and contain sensitive info so if you could upload it to Google Drive, Dropbox, etc and email me the link, that would be best.
When I grab teh file, I'll let you know and you can delete it.

> So we have around 100 instances of Asterisk 16.13.0 that have been running for over 2 months, normal load (small businesses with less than 30 users each), without issue.
> We have another 350 instances of Asterisk 16.15.0 that we've started seeing a very linear increase in memory consumption over time. Specifically, we see higher-load instances (150+ users) last only a few days before hitting our artificial 3GB ceiling and getting restarted by the OOM killer.
> There are very few differences in our implementation of the 16.13 and 16.15 versions. All versions are set up as the following:
> - CentOS 7 64-bit
> - Voicemail over ODBC
> - unixODBC 2.3.1
> - MariaDB Connector (instead of the crappy mysql connector)
> - CDR over MySQL
> - SIP Trunks are registered every 2 minutes, qualified every 15 seconds.
> - User devices register every 10 minutes, qualified every 15 seconds.
> - User devices connect via TCP more often than UDP.
> - I have NO pjsip threadpool configuration options defined. I think the default is 50 threads?
> Here is what I am about to test within the next week:
> 1. unixODBC updated to 2.3.9
> 2. Longer SIP Trunk Registration period - Maybe PJSIP is working too hard?
> 3. Longer qualify timeout - Maybe PJSIP is working too hard?
> One of my first questions: Is it SAFE to compile asterisk with MALLOC_DEBUG and just leave it on permanently? I am scared to enable it, and suddenly have a bunch of users that are experiencing issues because I've enabled something that should only be enabled in Dev.
> Sorry for the length of the post, trying to cover as much ground as possible.
