Issue

In combination of vars $DLG_del_delay and $DLG_timeout causing dialogs with state 5 never be removed, which causing out of memory issues.

Specific vm is 8GB share memory and 12 Gb physical ( not over provisioned)

Do you have a minimal working cfg reproducing the issue (like how to combine the 2 options in the way that the dialogs get stuck in state 5) ?

Hello Bogdan,
This cfg for SIP INVITE.

	# Regular INVITE  without Alert Info header
        if(!has_totag() && is_method("INVITE") && !has_body("application/csta+xml")) {
		# Create dialog
		create_dialog("B");


                $DLG_timeout = 120;

		# Dialog delete delay ( late BYE )
		$DLG_del_delay = 1800;

[bogdan-iancu]

And how does the call terminate? via timeout ? or via BYE ?

[volga629-1]

Normally completed with BYE.

Hi,

We're seeing the same behaviour in an active / passive cluster (version 3.4.8) with active/backup sharing tags (no DB) and have narrowed the cause down to one scenario (in our case).

It seems that dialogs that are CANCELED with a response of 487 (no BYE) before answer hang around on the active server until restart - they're shown in the output of dlg_list on the active server.

These dialogs replicate correctly to the passive node and correctly disappear from the output of dlg_list on the passive node.

The odd part in the output of dlg_list on the active node seems to be that they all have the following in common:

        "state": 5,
        "timestart": 0,
        "timeout": 0

No timestart and no timeout.

Restarting the active node clears the dialogs and syncs active dialogs from the passive node correctly.

EDIT: In our case there is no delete delay set and adding one makes no difference to the behaviour.
EDIT2: I have an opensips debug log and pcaps available for this scenario that I can e-mail through (due to the sensitive personal information contained).
