[OpenSIPS-Users] Flatstore files missing calls

Fri Oct 2 14:30:11 EST 2020

That is not an issue. OpenSIPS maintains an open fd to the file for writing. Moving/renaming the file does not affect that fd. OpenSIPS will continue writing to the file in the new location. That is the purpose of the MI command. It makes OpenSIPS close the existing fd and open a new one using the originally configured name which  will create a new file.

the order of actions seems to be problematic. what if I issue a rename, move command, and opensips is actually at the same time writing to the file?

There is no automatic configuration in OpenSIPS to close and/or roll the flatstore files. You must handle it. It is a 2 step process:

* moves/renames the current file
* calls OpenSIPS MI command to create a new file [1]

I think most people do it with a scheduled cron job.

How often the flatstore log files get closed and a new one is created?
I need to move the file to another directory and it is still open.

I think this is irrelevant for the topic. Again, the flatstore backend creates one file for each OpenSIPS process.

What I did was increase the number of process from 4 to 8. Will that somehow work?

Vic,

Note that OpenSIPS will produce one file per process, so maybe your record is in a different file....

Hi Bogdan-Andrei,

The issue is just there are a few calls not being written to the flatstore. So we were missing those calls in the cdr. I saw it in the logs. But it was not written in the flatstore file

Hi Vic,

The files are created upon first write into them. So be sure you are looking for the files into the right directory and be sure there is an actual write operation to the file.

Hello,

What are the reasons why flatstore files are not being created?

Im  seeing this output in a binary journal file, and not from a normal log file I have my output logs in /var/log/messages (but we do not see it coming here as well)

ACC: call ended: created=1596585092;call_start_time=1596585108;duration=5;ms_duration=5268;setuptime=16;method=INVITE;from_tag=13c1b24f27e408db;to_tag=ZtNe611a9391D;call_id=2a2ac4f263616c6c0015c430

But no flatstore file created or updated

But there is no flatstore files created. Is this a server issue? A resource like HD write speed? or some misconfiguration?
