| Description: | For some reason asterisk crashes early morning nearly everyday stating memory problems. Fisr you see the error Failed to start PBX :( in logfile and then further down the log I find an error Unable to launch helper thread: Cannot allocate memory. Also when connecting via asterisk -r, it says it cannot connect. The only way to get it up is doing an amportal kill amportal start If needed, I have a full debug of what was happening before the crash.The same problem was happening is version 1.8.4, 1.8.6 and 1.8.7. Server info: Centos compiled from source 4GB RAM Running on hyper V hardware IBM Blade Server | ||
| Comments: | By: Paul Belanger (pabelanger) 2011-10-18 12:04:13.853-0500 Thank you for your bug report. In order to move your issue forward, we require a backtrace[1] from the core file produced after the crash. Also, be sure you have DONT_OPTIMIZE enabled in menuselect within the Compiler Flags section, then: make install After enabling, reproduce the crash, and then execute the backtrace[1] instructions. When complete, attach that file to this issue report.

It only happens in the morning somewhere between 12 and 5AM. Asterisk does not stop running. While this is under investigation, can anyone recommend some automation to detect the problem and then reboot the server or do an amportal - kill and restart? Detecting if the asterisk process is running does not trigger an event since it never fails specifically. I am using Cent OS as well. By: Leif Madsen (lmadsen) 2011-11-01 07:56:31.422-0500 You can still perform a 'core show locks' and a backtrace on the running process when it gets into this state. By: Leif Madsen (lmadsen) 2011-11-01 07:56:45.603-0500 Debugging deadlocks: Please select DEBUG_THREADS and DONT_OPTIMIZE in the Compiler Flags section of menuselect. Recompile and install Asterisk (i.e. make install). This will then give you the console command "core show locks." When the symptoms of the deadlock present themselves again, please provide output of the deadlock via: # asterisk -rx "core show locks" | tee /tmp/core-show-locks.txt # gdb -se "asterisk" <pid of asterisk> | tee /tmp/backtrace.txt gdb> bt gdb> bt full gdb> thread apply all bt Then attach the core-show-locks.txt and backtrace.txt files to this issue. Thanks! By: Leif Madsen (lmadsen) 2011-11-21 14:11:19.616-0600 Suspended due to lack of activity. Please request a bug marshal in #asterisk-bugs on the IRC network irc.freenode.net to reopen the issue should you have the additional information requested.
