Chapter 1. Admin Guide

1.1. Overview

The Statistics module is a wrapper over the internal statistics manager, allowing the script writer to dynamically define and use of statistic variables.

By bringing the statistics support into the script, it takes advantage of the script flexibility in defining logics, making possible implementation of any kind of statistic scenario.

1.2. Statistic Groups

Starting with OpenSIPS 2.3, statistics may be grouped by prefixing their names with the name of the desired group, along with a colon separator (e.g. $stat(method:invite) or update_stat("packets:$var(ptype)", "+1")). In order for this to work, the groups must be defined prior to OpenSIPS startup using the stat_groups module parameter.

The module allows easy iteration over the statistics of a group using the stat_iter_init() and stat_iter_next() functions.

By default, all statistics belong to the "dynamic" group.

1.3. Dependencies

1.3.1. OpenSIPS Modules

The following modules must be loaded before this module:

  • No dependencies on other OpenSIPS modules.

1.3.2. External Libraries or Applications

The following libraries or applications must be installed before running OpenSIPS with this module loaded:

  • None.

1.4. Exported Parameters

1.4.1. variable (string)

Name of a new statistic variable. The name may be followed by additional flag which describe the variable behavior:

  • no_reset : variable cannot be reset.

Example 1.1. variable example

modparam("statistics", "variable", "register_counter")
modparam("statistics", "variable", "active_calls/no_reset")

1.4.2. stat_groups (string)

A comma-separated values string, specifying the statistic groups that may be used throughout the OpenSIPS script. Groups cannot contain leading or trailing whitespace characters.

Example 1.2. setting the stat_groups parameter

modparam("statistics", "stat_groups", "method, packet, response")

1.5. Exported Functions

1.5.1.  update_stat(variable, value)

Updates the value of the statistic variable with the new value.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • variable (string) - variable to be updated;

  • value (int) - value to update with; it may be also negative.

This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, BRANCH_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE and ONREPLY_ROUTE.

Example 1.3. update_stat usage

...
update_stat("register_counter", 1);
...
$var(a_calls) = "active_calls";
update_stat($var(a_calls), -1);
...

1.5.2.  reset_stat(variable)

Resets to zero the value of the statistic variable.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • variable (string) - variable to be reset-ed

This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, BRANCH_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE and ONREPLY_ROUTE.

Example 1.4. reset_stat usage

...
reset_stat("register_counter");
...
$var(reg_counter) = "register_counter";
update_stat($var(reg_counter));
...

1.5.3.  stat_iter_init(group, iter)

Re-initializes "iter" in order to begin iterating through all statistics belonging to the given "group".

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • group (string)

  • iter (string) - internally matched to a corresponding iterator

This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, BRANCH_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE and ONREPLY_ROUTE.

Example 1.5. stat_iter_init usage

...
stat_iter_init("packet", "iter");
...

1.5.4.  stat_iter_next(name, val, iter)

Attempts to fetch the current statistic to which "iter" points. If successful, the relevant data will be written to "name" and "val", while also advancing "iter". Returns negative when reaching the end of iteration.

Meaning of the parameters is as follows:

  • name (var)

  • val (var)

  • iter (string) - internally matched to a corresponding iterator

This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, BRANCH_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE and ONREPLY_ROUTE.

Example 1.6. stat_iter_next usage

...
# periodically clear packet-related data
timer_route [clear_packet_stats, 7200] {
	stat_iter_init("packet", "iter");
	while (stat_iter_next($var(stat), $var(val), "iter"))
		reset_stat("packet:$var(stat)");
}
...

1.6. Exported Pseudo-Variables

1.6.1. $stat

Allows "get" or "reset" operations on the given statistics.

The name of a statistic may be optionally prefixed with a searching group, along with a colon separator.

If a searching group is not provided, the statistic is first searched for in the core groups. If not found, search continues with the "dynamic" group which, by default, holds all non-explicitly grouped statistics which are not exported by the OpenSIPS core.

Example 1.7. $stat usage

...
xlog("SHM used size = $stat(used_size), no_invites = $stat(method:invite)\n");
...
$stat(err_requests) = 0;
...

(2) including any documentation-related commits, excluding merge commits. Regarding imported patches/code, we do our best to count the work on behalf of the proper owner, as per the "fix_authors" and "mod_renames" arrays in opensips/doc/build-contrib.sh. If you identify any patches/commits which do not get properly attributed to you, please submit a pull request which extends "fix_authors" and/or "mod_renames".
