Description:When there was around 80 calls, suddenly asterisk got restarted in 7 seconds of interval, while seeing the core dump we found snmmp message, actually we are monitoring asterisk service, number of channels and active calls via SNMP. Will SNMP be the cause?

backtrace log as suggested by wiki

So, it's difficult to see from this backtrace what the problem might be.

The crash isn't actually occurring in Asterisk, it's occurring in {{libnetsnmpagent}}. This could be either a bug in that library, or it could be that Asterisk handed the library invalid input.

Unfortunately, we can't tell if it's the latter case, as Asterisk was optimized when it was compiled. If you can, re-compile Asterisk with the {{DONT_OPTIMIZE}} and {{BETTER_BACKTRACES}} build options - that will show us all of the symbols in the stack when a crash occurs.

If you can reproduce the crash, attach a new backtrace using the instructions on the wiki. Hopefully that will provide enough information to narrow down the problem.

Actually its a production server where right now I can't re-compile, any way that I can check whether the option is enabled in menuselect-tree file?

Please advice.

Thanks.

The CLI command "core show settings" will show what it is running with in the Build Options line.

So what i have is,

{noformat}
PBX Core settings
-----------------
 Version:                     11.2.1
 Build Options:               LOADABLE_MODULES, BUILD_NATIVE
{noformat}


I think its not enabled.

Correct. The necessary options are not enabled. Will you be able to re-compile and reproduce the crash?

Hit "Send Back" or use "Enter Feedback" when you reply.

As I said earlier, its an 24/7 production environment, I am not able to recompile, that will affect the production, so time being we disabled SNMP and its keep on running.

Thanks.

After disabling SNMP service in Linux machine there was no crash.

By: Rusty Newton (rnewton) 2013-07-25 10:37:20.255-0500

Closing this out since we don't have a way to reproduce this, and you can't provide additional traces with the needed data to investigate further.

If you are able to provide the requested traces in the future or can describe exact steps that we could use to reproduce the issue in a reasonable way, then we'll re-open the issue.

Feel free to ping a bug marshal in #asterisk-bugs with any questions.

I've seen the same occur within 15 seconds an snmpd restart on a busy system with Asterisk 1.8. I'm looking to reproduce on a test system now.
