[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (ASTERISK-29232) Memory Leak since 16.13.0

[George Joseph (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-29232?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=256845#comment-256845 ] 

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

bq. George, since this issue happens when the system is just sitting idle (regardless of call volume) would it be equally meaningful to do it after-hours when there is very little traffic?

That's fine.  As long as there has been a build-up and the asterisk instance is still consuming excessive memory, it doesn't matter if there is currently a call in progress.

> 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.
