[OpenSIPS-Users] Memory Issues because of AVPs?

Sorry for the confusion. Orginally when I was testing my opensips config  
with the dialoginfo_set() function used in the script I was running into  
opensips memory (pk and sh) running out. This is most likely due to the  
fact that a ton of records were building up in the PUA table because  
opensips was generating pua message because of the dialoginfo_set() even  
though I had commented out everything else in my opensips script that had  
to do with pua and presence. I am hoping that when I am done with stress  
testing and enable all my presence and pua stuff the dialoginfo_set()  
functions will work as normal and not place a ton of records in the pua  
table (something I will need to verify later on).

I think where I was getting confused was that when I did the top command I  
would see that my opensips processes were building up memory under the %MEM  
column and that number under %MEM was never decreasing after I waited 20  
minutes. Yet last night after doing more research via the mailing list I  
ran across the command

opensipsctl fifo get_statistics pkmem: shmem:

When I look at the info from that commands output I see that SHMEM does get  
memory back instead of just steadily running out. I also see that with  
PKMEM all my processes are using about 1M of memory with 3M left over and  
that extra free memory doesn't get touched. So that leads me to believe  
that my opensips processes have also stabilized and aren't just gobbling up  
memory until it runs out. So even though the TOP command appears to show  
that the opensips processes aren't releasing that %MEM I can see with the  
opensipsctl fifo get_statistics command that pkmem and shmem isn't growing  
and being overloaded.

Does that make more since? Everything for now appears to be good. I can run  
my SIPP test for a very long time and OpenSIPS doesn't bomb out on me with  
memory issues.
