hello

we have the problem here that our freeswitch server "freezes" from time
to time (no sip traffic is possible any more).

has somebody here expirience or any idea how to monitor freeswitch to answer
the questions

- is the server alive
- does he process sip messages (invites, registrations)
and so on

the monitoring should work via cron local and remote (with esl for example)

a simple "fs_cli -x 'version'" wouldn't work - it's too simple, am i right?

any ideas would be helpful

Hi Christian,

You can subscribe and monitor the heartbeat event either locally or
remotely:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Perl_freeswitch_client_example

You could also send an application level SIP packet, like a ping, to
Freeswitch externally. I have a small script if you can't find one.

More importantly, while monitoring is good, its probably worth
investigating the root cause of the freezes since thats not normal.

i know, we tried to to get closer to this with anthony (see thread "stability problems",
started on 03.09.2009).
the old issue described a server that used more profiles (8-10) and some event socket scripts.
we came to the conclusion that it could be a race condition when using multiple profiles.

now on the server we need monitor we use only internal functions and conditions
- no external scripts
- no database
- only on profile
- only freeswitch stock functions

the symptoms are the same
- no more progress displays on the fs_cli console (debug level info)
- invites are answered with trying, but no more communication after this
- customers said that option requests are answered (they could not switch to fallback
because this worked)

we did use the trunk version and have now updated to 15162, but i don't think our problem is
solved with any update so far.

do you have a jira ticket open for this?
The mailing list is not a good place to ask for bugs to be fixed because I can't possibly scour them for responses.

If you can update to latest trunk and still reproduce this problem:
make sure gdb and gcore is installed on your box

from the FS build root enter

./support-d/fscore_pb gcore

and submit the url it generates to me
