Core Events

Events are exported by the OpenSIPS core through the Event Interface.


Threshold limit exceeded.

This event is triggered when a particular action takes longer than a specific threshold. It can be raised when a MySQL or DNS query takes too long, or a SIP message processing goes beyond a specific limit. For more information please see this post.

Parameters:

  • source: the source of the event: mysql module, core (for DNS or message processing warnings).
  • time: the amount of time (in microseconds) spent by the operation
  • extra: extra information, depending on the source of the event

Private memory threshold exceeded.

This event is triggered when the private memory usage goes above a threshold limit, specified by the event_pkg_threshold the core parameter. It warns external applications about low values of free private memory.

Parameters:

  • usage: the percentage of private memory usage. Can have values between event_pkg_threshold and 100.
  • threshold: the event_pkg_threshold specified in the script.
  • used: the amount of private memory used.
  • size: the total amount of private memory.
  • pid: the pid of the process that raises the event.

Shared memory threshold exceeded.

This event is triggered when the shared memory usage goes above a threshold limit, specified by the event_shm_threshold the core parameter. It warns external applications about low values of free shared memory.

Parameters:

  • usage: the percentage of shared memory usage. Can have values between event_shm_threshold and 100.
  • threshold: the event_shm_threshold specified in the script.
  • used: the amount of shared memory used.
  • size: the total amount of shared memory.

Process Auto-Scaling (upscale and downscale).

This event is triggered whenever a new process is created (forked) or a process is terminated due the auto-scaling logic. In order to have this event trigger, the auto-scaling must be enabled in your configuration.

Parameters:

  • group_type: the type/name of the scaling group (UDP/TCP/TIMER).
  • group_filter: the filter (usually the socket/interface for UDP) of the scaling group.
  • group_load: the load over the scaling group.
  • scale: “up” or “down”
  • process_id: the process ID (at OpenSIPS level) of the scaled (up or down) process.
  • pid: the PID (OS level) of the scaled (up or down) process.

TCP connection disconnected.

This event is triggered when a TCP connection is terminated/disconnected.

Parameters:

  • src_ip: the source IP of the TCP connection
  • src_port: the source PORT of the TCP connection
  • dst_ip: the destination IP of the TCP connection
  • dst_port: the destination PORT of the TCP connection
  • proto: the protocol of the underlying TCP connection ( ie. tcp, tls, ws, wss, etc )

Status/Report status changed.

This event is triggered the status of an SR identifier changes.

Parameters:

  • group: the name of the SR group
  • identifier: the name of the SR identifier
  • status: the new status (as numerical value) of the SR identifier
  • details: the details/text attached to the new status
  • old_status: the old status (as numerical value) of the SR identifier
