Hi,
Maybe it would be easier to explain my expectations on how it's supposed to
work, and then you can tell me where I'm making a wrong assumption __
So, load balancers like haproxy etc perform "health checks" on the service
being balanced. In this case, I have it setup for Kamailio to send OPTIONS and
I do in fact see those packets and 200 OK responses. And if haproxy sees a host
is down, it immediately stops trying to send client requests to that host.
In this case, after 10 successful OPTIONS pings, Kamailio marks the destination
as AP and everything is fine, Kamailio correctly returns the destination in
ds_select_dst.
I have the settings below, so that if the service misses 5 OPTIONS checks,
Kamailio should mark that destination as "inactive".
But, it should keep probing it, so Kamailio can detect when the destination
comes back up. So as I understand it, that's the status "IP".
And, Kamailio should stop including that destination in the responses from
ds_select_dst().
And all of that is behaving as expected, EXCEPT that last bit - ds_select_dst
continues to include the IP (inactive) destination in responses.
I added
ds_mark_dst("ip");
in the event of a 500 or branch failure response, but I don't understand why
this is needed, because the destination is already in "IP" mode.
So seemingly Kamailio knows the destination is inactive, but ds_select_dst
isn't acting on it unless I manually mark the target also.
Perhaps I am overlooking an option?
Regards,
Jawaid

Hello,
probing means in this context sending OPTIONS pings, yes.
In mode 1 you can disable the probing by setting flag 4 to the destination in
the dispatcher file, according to the docs.
Cheers,
Henning

Hello,
not sure what the "auto-probing" mode is, but you can configure the dispatcher
OPTIONS ping behaviour with that parameter:
https://kamailio.org/docs/modules/5.5.x/modules/dispatcher.html#dispatcher.p.ds_probing_mode
<https://kamailio.org/docs/modules/5.5.x/modules/dispatcher.html#dispatcher.p.ds_probing_mode>
Cheers,
Henning

Hi Alex,
I don't see "auto-probing" in the documentation.. here is my dispatcher config
that I snatched from somewhere on the Internet.
modparam("dispatcher", "db_url", "mysql://xxxxxxx/kamailio") #Use DBURL
variable for database parameters
modparam("dispatcher", "flags", 2) # If flag 2 is set, then the failover
support is enabled.
modparam("dispatcher", "table_name", "dispatcher")
modparam("dispatcher", "ds_ping_interval", 5) #How often to ping destinations
to check status
modparam("dispatcher", "ds_ping_method", "OPTIONS") #Send SIP Options ping
modparam("dispatcher", "ds_probing_threshold", 5) #How many failed pings in a
row do we need before we consider it down
modparam("dispatcher", "ds_inactive_threshold", 10) #How many sucessful pings
in a row do we need before considering it up
modparam("dispatcher", "ds_ping_latency_stats", 1) #Enables stats on latency
modparam("dispatcher", "ds_probing_mode", 1) #Keeps pinging gateways when state
is known (to detect change in state)
