[OpenSIPS-Users] Need some clarification in opensips cachedb_mongo db configutaion .

[Sasmita Panda]

What exactly do I have?

I have a global cluster of DocumentDB (AWS service ) which is mongodb
compatible .

In the global cluster , the primary cluster is in us-east and the secondary
cluster is in us-west .

I have 2 connection strings for both clusters , primary.xyz.com pointed to
primary cluster , secondary.xyz.com pointed to secondary cluster (secondary
cluster only has read replicas) .

In opensips I have given both the domains like below .

modparam("usrloc",
"cachedb_url","mongodb//docdb:cccl0g1c@*primary.xyz.com:27017
<http://primary.xyz.com:27017>*,*secondary.xyz.com:27017
<http://secondary.xyz.com:27017>*
/opensipsDB.userlocation?&readPreference=secondaryPreferred&retryWrites=false")

whenever my primary cluster goes down and secondary is promoted to
primary , opensips throws an error of connection loss . Opensips at that
point also trying to connect to the *primary.xyz.com
<http://primary.xyz.com> *although that is down* .  *

*At this point , my expectation was , opensips must have automatically
detect the the older primary cluster was down and secondary was became
primary and work properly . *

*But its not happening . Once I restart the service its works fine . *
