[OpenSIPS-Users] Registrar's lookup() function not returning contact with greatest q-value

[Pauba, Kevin L]

Bogdan,

I did provide the "b" flag to the lookup() function (see original message below) but it replaced the RURI with the contact with Q=0, not the one with Q=1 as I expected.

The only registrar module parameter that I've changed from the default is this:

modparam("registrar", "min_expires", 0)                 # turn off checking for minimum expiration time


Also, the contacts are saved in the memory cache not in a DB table (using save("location", "m") ).  Might that have an effect on the order in which they're retrieved?


Thanks!

Hi Pauba,

First if you want to get only one contact (even if multiple registered), 
see the "b" flag of the lookup() function:     
       
http://www.opensips.org/html/docs/modules/1.6.x/registrar.html#id271036

Also if more than one contact is returned, they are ordered of their 
value (highest to lowest).

Regards,
Bogdan

I should mention that I've written a "heartbeat" module that pings the registered contacts periodically and accepts a "load" value in the response that is used to calculate the q-value.  A few bits in the Cflags are used to keep track of those that respond back and I've modified the show command to report the meaning of the flags.
