Its functionality is to keep trace of the current dialogs, to offer information about them (like how many dialogs are active).
Aside tracking, the dialog module offers functionalities like flags and attributes per dialog (persistent data across dialog), dialog profiling and dialog termination (on timeout base or external triggered).
The module, via an internal API, also provide the foundation to build on top of it more complex dialog-based functionalities via other OpenSIPS modules.
To create the dialog associated with an initial request, you must call the create_dialog() function, with or without parameter.
The dialog is automatically destroyed when a “BYE” is received. In case of no “BYE”, the dialog lifetime is controlled via the default timeout (see “default_timeout” - default_timeout) and custom timeout (see “$DLG_timeout” - $DLG_timeout).
Dialog profiling is a mechanism that helps in classifying, sorting and keeping trace of certain types of dialogs, using whatever properties of the dialog (like caller, destination, type of calls, etc). Dialogs can be dynamically added in different (and several) profile tables - logically, each profile table can have a special meaning (like dialogs outside the domain, dialogs terminated to PSTN, etc).
There are two types of profiles:
with no value - a dialog simply belongs to a profile. (like outbound calls profile). There is no other additional information to describe the dialog's belonging to the profile;
with value - a dialog belongs to a profile having a certain value (like in caller profile, where the value is the caller ID). The belonging of the dialog to the profile is strictly related to the value.
A dialog can be added to multiple profiles in the same time.
Profiles are visible (at the moment) in the request route (for initial and sequential requests) and in the branch, failure and reply routes of the original request.
Dialog profiles can also be used in distributed systems, using the OpenSIPS CacheDB Interface or the clusterer module. This feature allows you to share dialog profile information with multiple OpenSIPS instaces that use the same CacheDB backend or are part of an OpenSIPS cluster. In order to do that, the cachedb_url or profile_replication_cluster parameters must be defined. Also, the profile must be marked as shared, by adding one of the '/s' or '/b' suffixes to the name of the profile in the profiles_with_value or profiles_no_value parameters.
Dialog replication is a mechanism used to mirror all dialog changes taking place in one OpenSIPS instance to one or multiple other instances. The process is simplified by using the clusterer module which facilitates the management of a cluster of OpenSIPS nodes and the sending of replication-related BIN packets (binary-encoded, using proto_bin). This feature is useful in achieving High Availability and/or Load Balancing for ongoing calls.
Configuring both receival and sending of dialog replication packets is trivial and can be done by using the dialog_replication_cluster parameter. But in addition to just sharing data, in order to properly cluster dialogs you will need to manage which node in the cluster is doing certain actions on certain dialogs using the sharing tags mechanism. For details and configuration examples on how this would work in different usage scenarios, see this article.
The following actions will not be performed for a dialog marked with a sharing tag that is in the "backup" state:
sending Re-Invite or OPTIONS pings to end-points
generating BYE requests or any other actions(like producing CDRs) upon dialog expiration
sending replication packets on dialog events(update, delete)
counting the dialog in the profiles that it belongs; only if profile replication is also enabled
In addition to the event-driven replication, an OpenSIPS instance will first try to learn all the dialog information from antoher node in the cluster at startup. The data synchronization mechanism requires defining one of the nodes in the cluster as a "seed" node. See the clusterer module for details on how to do this and why is it needed.
In the context of dialog replication, using a database as a failsafe for obtaining restart persistency for dialog data is useful in case all nodes in the cluster are down. This approach makes the most sense if a separate, local DB is used for each node in the cluster. In consequence dialogs loaded from the database at startup are dropped and also deleted from the DB once the sync from cluster is complete. This is done for dialogs that are not reconfirmed as being active in the meantime (SIP updates, received in sync data).
Also configuring profile replication via the profile_replication_cluster parameter is not necessary when dialog replication is already configured. The profile information is included in the dialog updates sent in the dialog replication cluster. The profiles must still be marked for sharing though in the profiles_with_value or profiles_no_value parameters.
A scenario were both profile and dialog replication should be configured is when a platform has multiple POPs, where separate dialog replication clusters are configured for HA purposes, and a cluster for globally shared profiles is also required. In this case, proper counting for dialogs is ensured by using the sharing tags mechanism(in order to avoid counting each dialog twice, both on the active and backup node for that dialog).
The following modules must be loaded before this module:
TM - Transaction module
RR - Record-Route module, optional, if Dialog ID matching is used in non Topo Hiding cases
clusterer - if replication_cluster parameter is set (contact replication via clusterer module)
If the statistics support should be enabled or not. Via statistic variables, the module provide information about the dialog processing. Set it to zero to disable or to non-zero to enable it.
Default value is “1 (enabled)”.
The size of the hash table internally used to keep the dialogs. A larger table is much faster but consumes more memory. The hash size must be a power of 2 number.
IMPORTANT: If dialogs' information should be stored in a database, a constant hash_size should be used, otherwise the restored process will not take place. If you really want to modify the hash_size you must delete all table's rows before restarting OpenSIPS.
Default value is “4096”.
The size of the hash table internally used to store profile->dialog associations. A larger table can provide more parallel operations but consumes more memory. The hash size is provided as the base 2 logarithm(e.g. log_profile_hash_size =4 means the table has 2^4 entries).
Default value is “4”.
Example 1.3. Set hash_size parameter
...
modparam("dialog", "log_profile_hash_size", 5) #set a table size of 32
...
Name of the Record-Route parameter to be added with the dialog cookie. It is used for fast dialog matching of the sequential requests.
Default value is “did”.
The default dialog timeout (in seconds) if no custom one is set.
Default value is “43200 (12 hours)”.
A string containing the extra headers (full format, with EOH) to be added in the requests generated by the module (like BYEs).
Default value is “NULL”.
Example 1.6. Set dlf_extra_hdrs parameter
...
modparam("dialog", "dlg_extra_hdrs", "Hint: credit expired\r\n")
...
How the seqential requests should be matched against the known dialogs. The modes are a combination between matching based on a cookie (DID) stored as cookie in Record-Route header and the matching based on SIP elements (as in RFC3261).
The supported modes are:
0 - DID_ONLY - the match is done exclusively based on DID;
1 - DID_FALLBACK - the match is first tried based on DID and if not present, it will fallback to SIP matching;
2 - DID_NONE - the match is done exclusively based on SIP elements; no DID information is added in RR.
Default value is “1 (DID_FALLBACK)”.
NOTE that if you have call looping on your OpenSIPS server (passing more than once through the same OpenSIPS instance), it is strongly suggested to use only DID_ONLY mode, as the SIP based matching will have an undefined behavior - from SIP perspective, a sequential dialog will match all the loops of the call, as the Call-ID, To and From TAGs are the same.
If you want to store the information about the dialogs in a database a database url must be specified.
Default value is “mysql://opensips:opensipsrw@localhost/opensips”.
Example 1.8. Set db_url parameter
...
modparam("dialog", "db_url", "dbdriver://username:password@dbhost/dbname")
...
Describe how to push into the DB the dialogs' information from memory.
The supported modes are:
0 - NO_DB - the memory content is not flushed into DB;
1 - REALTIME - any dialog information changes will be reflected into the database immediately.
2 - DELAYED - the dialog information changes will be flushed into the DB periodically, based on a timer routine.
3 - SHUTDOWN - the dialog information will be flushed into DB only at shutdown - no runtime updates.
Default value is “0”.
The interval (seconds) at which to update dialogs' information if you chose to store the dialogs' info at a given interval. A too short interval will generate intensive database operations, a too large one will not notice short dialogs.
Default value is “60”.
The interval (seconds) at which OpenSIPS will generate in-dialog OPTIONS pings for one or both of the involved parties.
Default value is “30”.
Example 1.11. Set options_ping_interval parameter
...
modparam("dialog", "options_ping_interval", 20)
...
The interval (seconds) at which OpenSIPS will generate in-dialog Re-INVITE pings for one or both of the involved parties.
Important: the ping timeout detection is performed every time this interval ticks, not when the re-INVITE transaction times out! Consequently, please make sure that the timeouts for re-INVITE transactions (e.g. the "fr_timeout" modparam of the "tm" module or its $T_fr_timeout variable) are always lower than the value of this parameter! Failing to ensure this ordering of timeouts may possibly lead to re-INVITE pings never ending a disconnected dialog due to pings getting retried before getting a chance to properly time out.
Default value is “300”.
Example 1.12. Set reinvite_ping_interval parameter
...
modparam("dialog", "reinvite_ping_interval", 600)
...

Default value is 0.
The function creats the dialog for the currently processed request. The request must be an initial request. Optionally,the function also receives a string parameter, which specifies special behavior to be done for the current dialog.
Parameters:
flags (string, optional) Possible values here are :
B - Upon reaching dialog lifetime, BYEs will be triggered both ways
P - Ping caller side with OPTIONS messages, once every options_ping_interval seconds
p - Ping callee side with OPTIONS messages, once every options_ping_interval seconds
R - Ping caller side with RE-INVITE messages, once every reinvite_ping_interval seconds
r - Ping callee side with RE-INVITE messages, once every reinvite_ping_interval seconds
E - Upon detecting a SIP Race condition (see RFC 5407), end the call after race_condition_timeout seconds
Multiple string flags can be used at the same time, ie. passing "BPp" flags will enable all 3 flags.
NOTE: both RE-INVITE and OPTIONS pinging cannot be enabled at the same time for a single dialog leg. If both flags ("PR" or "pr") are provided only RE-INVITE pinging will be used.
The function returns true if the dialog was successfully created or if the dialog was previously created.
This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE.
Example 1.53. create_dialog() usage
...
create_dialog();
...
#ping caller
create_dialog("P");
...
#ping caller and callee
create_dialog("Pp");
#bye on timeout
create_dialog("B");
...
This function is to be used to match a sequential (in-dialog) request to an ongoing dialog.
By default, dialog matching is performed according to the dlg_match_mode module parameter. A specific matching mode may be enforced by specifying the optional "dlg_match_mode" parameter. Possible values for this parameter are "DID_ONLY", "DID_FALLBACK" and "DID_NONE".
As sequential requests are automatically matched to the dialog when doing "loose_route()" from script, this function is intended to: (A) control the place in your script where the dialog matching is done and (B) to cope with bogus sequential requests that do not have Route headers, so they are not handled by loose_route().
Parameters:
dlg_match_mode (string, optional)
The function returns true if a dialog exists for the request.
This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE.
Example 1.54. match_dialog() usage
...
if (has_totag()) {
loose_route();
# example 1: match according to dlg_match_mode
if ($DLG_status == NULL && !match_dialog())
xlog("cannot match request to a dialog\n");
# example 2: override dlg_match_mode
if ($DLG_status == NULL && !match_dialog("DID_FALLBACK"))
xlog("cannot match request to a dialog\n");
}
...
The function checks the current received requests against the dialog (internal data) it belongs to. Performing several tests, the function will help to detect the bogus injected in-dialog requests (like malicious BYEs).
The performed tests are related to CSEQ sequence checking and routing information checking (contact and route set).
The function returns true if a dialog exists for the request and if the request is valid (according to dialog data). If the request is invalid, the following return codes are returned :
-1 - invalid cseq
-2 - invalid remote target
-3 - invalid route set
-4 - other errors ( parsing, no dlg, etc )
This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE.
Example 1.55. validate_dialog() usage
...
if (has_totag()) {
loose_route();
if ($DLG_status!=NULL && !validate_dialog() ) {
xlog(" in-dialog bogus request \n");
} else {
xlog(" in-dialog valid request - $DLG_dir !\n");
}
}
...
The function forces an in dialog SIP message to contain the ruri, route headers and dst_uri, as specified by the internal data of the dialog it belongs to. The function will prevent the existence of bogus injected in-dialog requests ( like malicious BYEs )
This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE.
Example 1.56. fix_route_dialog() usage
...
if (has_totag()) {
loose_route();
if ($DLG_status!=NULL)
if (!validate_dialog())
fix_route_dialog();
}
...
The function extracts a dialog value from another dialog. It first searches through all existing (ongoing) dialogs for all dialogs that have a dialog variable named "key" with the value "key_val" (so a dialog where $dlg_val(key)=="key_val"). If found, it returns the value of the dialog variable "attr" from all the founds dialog in the "avp" pseudo-variable, otherwise nothing is written in "avp", and a negative error code is returned.
NOTE: the function does not require to be called in the context of a dialog - you can use it whenever / whereever for searching for other dialogs.
Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
attr (string) - the name of the dialog variable (from the found dialog) to be returned;
avp (var) - an avp where to store the values of the "attr" dialog variable. Since the function checks through all dialogs, this needs to be an actual AVP in order to support pushing values from all matched dialogs.
key (string) - name of a dialog variable to be used a search key (when looking after the target dialog)
key_val (string) - the value of the dialog variable that is used as key in searching the target dialog.
no_dlgs (var) - the total number of dialogs containing the key variable
This function can be used from ALL ROUTES.
Example 1.57. get_dialog_info usage
...

The function fetches all the dialog variables of another dialog. It first searches through all existing (ongoing) dialogs based on the given SIP CallID. If found, it returns all the dialog variables as two parallel arrays of names and values (using the given variables "names" and "vals"). As these variables have to hold arrays, they must be AVPs.
NOTE: the function does not require to be called in the context of a dialog - you can use it whenever / whereever for searching for other dialogs.
Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
names (var) - an AVP variable to hold all the names of the variables from the found dialog.
vals (var) - an AVP variable to hold all the values of the variables from the found dialog.
callid (string) - the callid of a dialog to be searched (and have the variables fetched).
This function can be used from any type of route.

Name: dlg_db_sync
It takes no parameters
MI FIFO Command Format:
opensips-cli -x mi dlg_db_sync
This command will only take effect if dialog replication is enabled.
The current node will locate a suitable donor node within the dialog_replication_cluster and issue a sync request to it. The donor node will then push all the dialog information to the current node, via the the binary interface. For dialogs that already exist in memory, the information will be not be treated as an update but discarded instead.
Name: dlg_cluster_sync
It takes no parameters
MI FIFO Command Format:
opensips-cli -x mi dlg_cluster_sync
Restores the dialog table after a potential desynchronization event. The table is truncated, then populated with CONFIRMED dialogs from memory.

Sends a sequential request within an ongoing dialog.
Name: dlg_send_sequential
Parameters:
callid - the callid of the dialog you need to trigger the sequential message for.
method - (optional) the method used for the sequential message. Default value is INVITE.
mode - (optional) can be used to tune the behavior of the sequential message. Possible values for the mode are:
caller - (default) sends the sequential message to the caller. This mode can be useful in high availability scenarios when you want to update the upstream's routing set, specifically the contact.
callee - same as caller, but sends the sequential message to the callee.
challenge - sends a sequential INVITE (or UPDATE) to the caller to challenge it for its advertised SDP body. When the body is received, it is forwarded to the callee. This mode is useful when trying to change both endpoints (upstream and downstream) routing set. It can also be useful when trying to trigger a re-negotiation for SDP body.
challenge-caller - same as challenge
challenge-callee - same as challenge-caller, only that it first challenges the callee, instead of the caller.
body - (optional) can be used to specify a body for the initial sequential message. Possible values for the body parameter are:
none - (default) no body added to the sequential message.
inbound - advertises in the body of the sequential message generated the last body received from its pair. For example, if the mode=challenge-caller, the message will contain the body sent to OpenSIPS by the callee. This is useful when you need to alter the body previously sent to the caller, because you want to re-negotiate a different media proxy for the call. This can be achieved by catching the generated request in local_route, and re-engage the Media proxy.
outbound - advertises in the body of the sequential message generated the last body sent to that UAC. For example, if the mode=challenge-caller, the message will contain the last body sent by OpenSIPS to the caller. This is useful in a high availability scenario when trying to re-negotiate the contact of the server, but there is no need to alter the body sent earlier.
custom:CONTENT_TYPE:BODY - this can be used to specify a specific Content-Type ehader and body for the sequential message generated.
This functions runs asynchronously and returns the status code and reason of the last reply received for either the challenge or normal mode.
MI Command Format:
opensips-cli -x mi dlg_send_sequential \ callid=5291231-testing@127.0.0.1
MI Command used to trigger media re-negotiation:
opensips-cli -x mi dlg_send_sequential \ callid=5291231-testing@127.0.0.1 \ mode=challenge \ body=inbound
MI Command used to UPDATE the callee's remote Contact after a server failover:
opensips-cli -x mi dlg_send_sequential \ callid=5291231-testing@127.0.0.1 \ mode=challenge-callee \ body=outbound \ method=UPDATE
Returns the status of the dialog corresponding to the processed sequential request. This PV will be available only for sequential requests, after doing loose_route().
Value may be:
NULL - Dialog not found.
1 - Dialog unconfirmed (created but no reply received at all)
2 - Dialog in early state (created provisional reply received, but no final reply received yet)
3 - Confirmed by a final reply but no ACK received yet.
4 - Confirmed by a final reply and ACK received.
5 - Dialog ended.
Returns the duration (in seconds) of the dialog corresponding to the processed sequential request. The duration is calculated from the dialog confirmation and the current moment. This PV will be available only for sequential requests, after doing loose_route().
NULL will be returned if there is no dialog for the request.
Returns the dialog flags array (as a single integer value) of the dialog corresponding to the processed sequential request. This PV will be available only for sequential requests, after doing loose_route().
NULL will be returned if there is no dialog for the request.
Returns the direction of the request in dialog (as "upstream" string if the request is generated by callee or "downstream" string if the request is generated by caller) - to be used for sequential request. This PV will be available only for sequential requests (not for replies), after doing loose_route().
NULL will be returned if there is no dialog for the request.
Returns the id of the dialog corresponding to the processed sequential request. The output format is a string identical to the one returned by the dlg_list MI function. This PV will be available only for sequential requests, after doing loose_route().
NULL will be returned if there is no dialog for the request.
Returns the reason for the dialog termination. It can be one of the following :
Upstream BYE - Callee has sent a BYE
Downstream BYE - Caller has sent a BYE
Lifetime Timeout - Dialog lifetime expired
MI Termination - Dialog ended via the MI interface
Ping Timeout - Dialog ended because no reply to option pings
ReINVITE Ping Timeout - Dialog ended because no reply to reinvite pings
RTPProxy Timeout - Media timeout signaled by RTPProxy
SIP Race Condition - SIP Race Condition occurred
NULL will be returned if there is no dialog for the request, or if the dialog is not ended in the current context.
Used to set the dialog lifetime (in seconds). When read, the variable returns the number of seconds until the dialog expires and is destroyed. Note that reading the variable is only possible after the dialog is created (for initial requests) or after doing loose_route() (for sequential requests). Important notice: using this variable with a REALTIME db_mode is very inefficient, because every time the dialog value is changed, a database update is done.
NULL will be returned if there is no dialog for the request, otherwise the number of seconds until the dialog expiration.
The variable is read-only and exposes a JSON variable containing all the information that the dlg_list MI function contains
NULL will be returned if there is no dialog for the request, otherwise the JSON will be returned.
The variable is read-only and exposes a JSON variable containing all the information that the dlg_list_ctx MI function contains ( on top of $DLG_json, this will expose the full list of dialog vars and profile links for the current dialog )
NULL will be returned if there is no dialog for the request, otherwise the JSON will be returned.
This event is raised when the dialog state is changed.
Parameters:
hash_entry - the entry in the dialog table. This is used, along with the hash_id, to uniquely identify the dialog. This parameter is is NOT available when event_id_format=1.
hash_id - the id in the dialog table. This is used, along with the hash_entry, to uniquely identify the dialog. This parameter is is NOT available when event_id_format=1.
id - the hex representation of the dialog id. This parameter is NOT available when event_id_format=1.
db_id - the integer representation of the dialog id, as it is stored in the database dlg_id field. This parameter is NOT available when event_id_format=0.
callid - the callid.
from_tag - the From tag.
to_tag - the To tag.
old_state - the old state of the dialog.
new_state - the new state of the dialog.
Register a new callback to the dialog.
Meaning of the parameters is as follows:
struct dlg_cell* dlg - dialog to register callback to. If maybe NULL only for DLG_CREATED callback type, which is not a per dialog type.
int type - types of callbacks; more types may be register for the same callback function; only DLG_CREATED must be register alone. Possible types:
DLGCB_LOADED - called when a dialog is loaded from the database, or received by a node using the cluster replication.
DLGCB_SAVED
DLG_CREATED - called when a new dialog is created - it's a global type (not associated to any dialog)
DLG_FAILED - called when the dialog was negatively replied (non-2xx) - it's a per dialog type.
DLG_CONFIRMED - called when the dialog is confirmed (2xx replied) - it's a per dialog type.
DLG_REQ_WITHIN - called when the dialog matches a sequential request - it's a per dialog type.
DLG_TERMINATED - called when the dialog is terminated via BYE, or by the mi dlg_end_dlg command - it's a per dialog type.
DLG_EXPIRED - called when the dialog expires without receiving a BYE - it's a per dialog type. Note that when using replication sharing tags, this callback is only executed by the node that has the Active tag.
DLGCB_EARLY - called when the dialog is created in an early state (18x replied) - it's a per dialog type.
DLGCB_RESPONSE_FWDED - called when the dialog matches a reply to the initial INVITE request - it's a per dialog type.
DLGCB_RESPONSE_WITHIN - called when the dialog matches a reply to a subsequent in dialog request - it's a per dialog type.
DLGCB_MI_CONTEXT - called when the mi dlg_list_ctx command is invoked - it's a per dialog type.
DLGCB_DESTROY
dialog_cb cb - callback function to be called. Prototype is: “void (dialog_cb) (struct dlg_cell* dlg, int type, struct dlg_cb_params * params); ”
void *param - parameter to be passed to the callback function.
param_free callback_param_free - callback function to be called to free the param. Prototype is: “void (param_free_cb) (void *param);”
3.1. | What happened with “topology_hiding()” function? |
The respective functionality was moved into the topology_hiding module. Function prototype has remained the same. | |
3.2. | What happened with “use_tight_match” parameter? |
The parameter was removed with version 1.3 as the option of tight matching became mandatory and not configurable. Now, the tight matching is done all the time (when using DID matching). | |
3.3. | What happened with “bye_on_timeout_flag” parameter? |
The parameter was removed in a dialog module parameter restructuring. To keep the bye on timeout behavior, you need to provide a "B" string parameter to the create_dialog() function. | |
3.4. | What happened with “dlg_flag” parameter? |
The parameter is considered obsolete. The only way to create a dialog is to call the create_dialog() function | |
