[Asterisk-Users] Management: Reload performace & Realtimeperformance ?

[Rene Ott]

It is hard to describe a usage pattern cause I don't have a concrete one.
The questions are meant in a more general way which management technique is
better scalable. 

An example for a GUI using the  

DBwrite ---> read db with perl and write new conf files ---> reload

process is the Asterisk Management Portal. It uses MySQL. Lets say it is
used in a company and the 1000 clients consist mostly of SIP clients and
some FAXes, and some ISDN phones.
And I am asking myself if it is able to manage the lots of clients in a good
way (means one doesn't have to invest in lots of hardware to handle the
load). Or maybe it is better to use the realtime technique ?

This really depends on your usage patterns and a lot of other things
like what database you are using and how it is configured, etc..   You
probably need to list a lot more details about what it is you are
trying to do before you will get an answer.

 I haven't had the time to test what happens when you reload a large
static database, but I'm guessing it would load everything from the
database first, then when it replaces what's in memory it only takes a
second or so.

That's only for the realtime extensions.
