[Freeswitch-users] CPU Spikes every 20 minutes

Mon Oct 22 23:40:55 MSD 2012

HI Guillero,

I will try that and let you know the results.

One final question, the link you gave me says :

1) In /etc/fstab, add a mountpoint and save.

tmpfs    /usr/local/freeswitch/ramdb     tmpfs   defaults        0 0

2) Make sure you also create the directory.

mkdir /usr/local/freeswitch/ramdisk

mount -a

3) Then, in freeswitch/conf/autoload_configs/switch.conf.xml uncomment
core-db-name and set it to the path you created in fstab.

<param name="core-db-name" value="/usr/local/freeswitch/ramdisk/core.db" />

4) Restart FreeSWITCH

The directory for the fstab file is :

/usr/local/freeswitch/ramdb

The directory to mount is :

/usr/local/freeswitch/ramdisk

Is this a typo error ? or it is ok?

Thanks

Ricardo.-

Hi Ken.

Maybe that is the problem.  I was sure that the “load average” can’t go
more than #cores in your system.  In my case I have 8 cores, so a “load
average” of 12 is high from my point of view.  Where did you get the number
100 for this parameter?

Anyway, what is running a sqlite in freeswitch.  Does this have to do with
the core.db file? Or with the cdr_sqlite module?.

Thanks

Could it be just a normal sqlite running a vacuum?

Sqlite does this every so often or if its calling a sync....

Also freeswitch with a load avg of 12 for a short period of time isnt
anything to really worry about. Due to the number of threads that’s
possible with FS (ie: 1 per call leg) its not unusual to see a box humming
along and the load avg well above 100 in my experience... This is due to
the number of threads waiting in the run queue when it was sampled... Now,
that’s not saying that this is not specifically indicative or a problem but
something else to think about

AS far as i can see there is no java running.

Do you have anything like Java running that could be doing garbage
collection?

What other processes are running on the machine?  Does TOP show which
process is causing the spike?

Hi Gabe.
I'm mean between the spikes there is nothing different as regarding to the
calls... the cps maintains the same.. there are no scripts running or
crontabs running, the simultaneous calls are the same also.  So, for some
reason the "load average" start to grow (every 20 or 25 minutes) without
any clear cause.
I have debug with gdb the moment the server is with 12.5 of "load average"
here : http://pastebin.freeswitch.org/20112

Can we detect a problem from here?

Regards,
Ricardo.

What have you done to verify that it happens 'without any reason'?
