[OpenSIPS-Users] How to avoid 'out of memory' issue ? I'm a bit confused if '-m' and '-M' options...

[Rodrigo Pimenta Carvalho]

Hi.


I have used OpenSIPS without problems in my computer. It is OpenSIPS 2.2. I'm also using SQLite 3.0 as the OpenSIPS database.

Everything is ok.

See how I start the OpenSIPS in my computer:

/usr/local/opensips_proxy/sbin/opensips -P /var/run/opensips/opensips.pid -m 64 -M 4 -u root -g root -E -f /usr/local/opensips_proxy/etc/opensips/opensips_residential_2015-11-5_16_46_31.cfg


So, 64 Mbyte of shared memory and 4 Mbyte of private memory.



However, after porting OpenSIPS 2.2 and SQLite 3.0 in another system (embedded system) and still using the same configurations files, I got an 'out of memory' issue.



Dec  1 19:12:02 [232] ERROR:db_sqlite:db_sqlite_connect: Can't open database: out of memory
Dec  1 19:12:02 [232] ERROR:db_sqlite:db_sqlite_new_connection: initial connect failed



My current platform has 109 Mbyte of free memory before starting OpenSIPS. When I try to start it, I got 'out of memory' to open SQLite.

So, I have tried to solve the problem (giving more memory to the SQLite) doing the following steps:


1 - starting opensips with 32MB share memory: STARTOPTIONS="-m 32"


2 - Configuring the size of the hash table internally used to keep the dialogs. EX: modparam("dialog", "hash_size", 1024) . Default is 4096.


It seems that the option "-m 32" didn't take effect?  I suspect that in the embedded system OpenSIPs is trying to use much more that 32 or 64 Mbyte. So SQLite doesn't have sufficient memory.


How to solve such problem?


How could be a good use of -M and -m options to give more memory to OpenSIPs or to SQLite?


Should I increase or decrease the value of '-m' flag?


Any hint will be very helpful!

Thanks a lot!


Best regards!
