Re: [OpenSIPS-Users] Access to statistics variables from within script
Paweł, this can be simpler done with an external script that runs on cron and periodically fetch the stats you need (via opensipsctl fifo get_statistics), dump the values somewhere and resets them (via opensipsctl fifo reset_statistics - http://www.opensips.org/Resources/DocsCoreMi16#toc11). The idea is to keep non-sip processing outside opensips - let opensips to its job with the SIP stuff and do other apps to take care of the side jobs (like CDRs, stats, etc). Do you think this will work for you ?

Re: [OpenSIPS-Users] Access to statistics variables from within script
Most likely this is where Bogdan is headed but, if you only want to increment
and reset some variables in the script there are global vars available to do
that with. cfgutils module.
#first a var that is shared across all processes
modparam(cfgutils, shvset, didtracker=i:0)
#now one that will be unique to each process thread
modparam(cfgutils, varset, threadtracker=s:0)
Then in the script to, say, randomly select a from user:
$avp(s:newfromheader) = $hdr(From);
$avp(s:holder)=$shv(didtracker);
$shv(didtracker)=$shv(didtracker) + 1;
if( $shv(didtracker) == 5 )
$shv(didtracker)=0;
$avp(s:offset)= 5 - $(avp(s:holder){s.len});
$var(matchup)=$(var(threadtracker){s.substr,0,$avp(s:offset)})
+ $avp(s:holder);
if( dp_translate(42, $var(matchup)/$var(matchup)) )
{
$avp(s:newfromheader) = sip: + $var(matchup) + @ +
$fd; #this could change again for oli tag or something so
setflag(FLAG_CHANGED_FROMHEADER); #use flag to insure
we only change from header once in t_relay route
}

Re: [OpenSIPS-Users] Access to statistics variables from within script
Hi Richard,
1 important comment here - the global vars are something more powerful
than statistic vars. And of course, they come with more penalties.
Operating with the global vars requires internal locking (over the
variable) - this may lead to a general slowdown of opensips as all the
procs will keep syncronizing over the lock for the this vars. The stat
vars are using atomic ops (internally) and they do not require locking.
just my 2 cents on this,
Bogdan

Re: [OpenSIPS-Users] Access to statistics variables from within script
Good to remember. Thank you. I normally spend tons of time thinking about how
and why I'm accessing the database and file system and no time thinking about
how I'm manipulating variables in script.
While we are on this subject, I've always wondered about something, but not
enough to test it out. I had to modify the snippet below quite a bit before
sending it due to the fact that I use m4 and let it convert strings to integer
named avp's. One of the primary reasons I started using m4 was the warning in
the docs about the speed difference of manipulating avp's with string names vs
avp's with integer names and how using aliases on the avp's was a better idea.
Do you know if any comparisons were ever done to quantify that difference? I'm
wondering if the difference between reading, then modifying 1000 avp's using
string vs integer would be like 10 milliseconds vs 1 second or 10 milliseconds
vs 100 milliseconds.
Like I say, this was never a big enough concern to make me test it out but if
you know then I would like to know. :

Re: [OpenSIPS-Users] Access to statistics variables from within script
Hi Richard,
definitely there is a difference , but never tried to quantify it - of
course, we can make a simple script to loop 10 times and search for
an AVP in a list of 100 AVPs.
But as searching for an AVP is pure CPU, the question is how relevant is
this difference relative to a DB query duration or DNS lookup ;)
Regards,
Bogdan
