Hi,

I have a strange problem, after some time my asterisk server starts
using more and more CPU resource and after some time it becomes
unusable. I need to kill the asterisk process before it renders the
whole system unusable.
I have a few SIP phones, IAX trunk to other system and voicemail running
on that server.

Now, how do I troubleshoot, which part of asterisk is causing the load
on CPU ?

I'm using latest Asterisk 1.4 from Gentoo VoIP portage overlay.

Kind Regards

Do you see anything in the logs?

One thing to do is identifying which thread is confuming the CPU.
In top, use 'H' to see separate thread (or something like ps -eLf).

Also in top: is some of that time "system"? If so, this is not a pure
100% CPU loop, and strace may be able to provide some further hints.

You can then use:

strace -p <id of that thread>
