[Freeswitch-users] Trouble Shooting Hung Sofia Profile

Greetings,
We previously performed all of the suggested changes to our Freeswitch
installation.  We enabled the cache on the XML Curl user endpoint as well
as enabling the thread per registration setting on the internal profile.

We had another event today where the Internal profile was completely hung.
It was unable to process registrations until we restarted.  All of the
registrations had expired on the timer, and thus the call processing
stopped as well.

We are running FreeSWITCH Version 1.6.19~64bit ( 64bit) installed from Yum
repo on a CentOS7 server.  I have two questions:

1 - Any other known issues regarding hung sofia profiles when using XML
Curl?  The internal profile is also handling registrations exclusively from
Websockets (if that makes a difference).

2 - What can we do in the future to get information regarding the hung
process for further troubleshooting.  There is nothing in the logs, so I
think we need to generate a core file.  Any specific mechanism to generate
the core file that will yield the most interesting results?

Thanks,
Geoff
