Internal support hints
Important note:
Following articles are designed to be used by internal support team. You can find hints usauseful but please use it at your own risk (use on testing servers first)
Testing configure options
If you need to test configure options without need to modify the config file or database settings, you can use json_config option:
--json_config='[{"id_sensor":"11"},{"interface":"lo"},{"natalias","8.8.8.8 10.10.100.50;9.9.9.9 192.168.88.33"}]'
(The otpions defined using json_config command line option will overrides the configfile and database settings)
Examples
This will override options rtpip_find_endpoints,rrd,natalias no matter what is set in config file.
./voipmonitor --config-file=config/voipmonitor.conf -p XobmuJ -b voipmonitor_ipv6 -k -v1,pcap_stat_period=5,hash_rtp,rtp_streams -rpba:/totest/test.pcap --json_config='[{"rtpip_find_endpoints","yes"},{"rrd","no"},{"natalias","8.8.8.8 10.10.100.50;9.9.9.9 192.168.88.33"}]'

SCRIPTs for better run control
Alerts and Report
When alerts taking longer time to process then interval is schedulled it can cause out of memory or high load to CPU after some time because same alert is processed multipletimes for various time ranges. Following script allows manual run of disabled alert in GUI via crontab - its benefit is that it will run multiple alerts at same time unlike normal run where is processed one alert by one.
Follow this link script-for-multi-Instances-alerts-processing (deprecated)
The GUI now supports parralel run of the alerts/report - enable it in system settings->Advanced->Number of parallel tasks
Batch download for more then 1000CDRs
When you need to download lot of audio files - you use GUI->menu->cdr batch download,but it allows only 1000calls to process with one GUI's query.
Following script allows you to create audio from longer set of CDRs, also it process in multiple instances to get audio faster (beware of HDD IO/CPU) script-for-big-batchdownloads
RAM (alerts / dashboards cache)
When there is lot of CDRs then alerts or caching of dashboard data can take lot of RAM, folloowing script will control if some php thread will not consume over limit, when it does, its oom_adj_score is set to be killed first (prevent killing of voipmonitor sniffer od db when running on same server)
Follow link script-for-GUI-cron-control-oom
Backup the settings from all probes and GUI
The script gets voipmonitor.conf from all probes and do GUI backup config tables from db. Requires ssh access without password, error redirect to /dev/null, run it using cron
Follow link script-for-probes-backup
charts binary crashes debug steps
When apachelog or dmesg reports crashes of vm's charts binary like
Aug 20 10:32:30 C17VOIPMONDB02 kernel: charts-x86_64[7321]: segfault at 10 ip 0000000000412553 sp 00007ffff2638430 error 4 in charts-x86_64[400000+6c6000]
create debug folder for charts
Create vm_charts_parameters in /tmp
after GUI will create some charts there files with arguments will be created.
test Arguments passed to charts binary

voipmonitor sniffer memory leaks detect and debug
When voipmonitor uses more and more RAM (RSS/VSZ stat in syslog) without processing more CALLs (regs/messages) following steps can tell you where the RAM ends (it can be leak or some thread overload)
compile je_malloc
Download jemalloc from https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc
./autogen.sh #requires development tools Deb/ubu apt install build-essential, centos/rh yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' ./configure --enable-prof make make install
enable jemalloc for voipmonitor and compile it
./configure
edit config.h,to have there
#define HAVE_LIBTCMALLOC 0 #define HAVE_LIBJEMALLOC 1
edit Makefile and disable optimization and add ljemalloc to libs
substitute there -O2 with -O0 (It is capital o followed by zero)
LIBS = ${SHARED_LIBS} -ljemalloc
Finish compilation
make clean make -j8
enable X88 compatible sources and recompile
Copy sniffer sources with compiled binary to new location and recreate binary with -X88 (This is necessary to get correct memory allocation for debuging usin jeprof)
cp -a /usr/src/voipmonitor-git /usr/src/sniffer-git-jemalloc-X88 LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libjemalloc.so ./voipmonitor -k -v1 -c -X88 #It will list of source files modification,then re-make make clean make

Modify init file or run sniffer manually with extra env arguments and parameters
edit /etc/init.d/voipmonitor

testing customer pcaps
testing special pcaps
ipfix
Run first instance of voipmonitor that will act as receiver for packets and will push CDRs to db in the settings enable ipfix options:
ipfix = yes ipfix_bind_ip = 0.0.0.0 ipfix_bind_port = 12345
Then run scecond instance that will act as source for replay the ipfix encapsulated pcap
./voipmonitor --config-file=config/voipmonitor.conf -k -v1 --ipfix-client-emulation='/tmp/TCPdump_ipfix_stream.pcap;1.2.3.4;8.8.8.8;127.0.0.1;12345'
Params:
pcap file 2 IP address - 1.ip fix client,2.ip fix server last IP : port telling to where to send the ipfix stream (IP:port of ipfix options set for the 1.st instance)
testing via basic upload aka GUI upload
voipmonitor --config-file=/etc/voipmonitor-customer.conf -r /tmp/file.pcap
testing via packetbuffer upload
time shift to now, increased speed of replaying
voipmonitor --config-file=/etc/voipmonitor-customer.conf -rpbsa9: /tmp/file.pcap
no time shift via pb
voipmonitor --config-file=/etc/voipmonitor-customer.conf -rpb: /tmp/file.pcap
tcpreplay to running service
you need to enable additional argument when starting the service in /etc/init.d/voipmonitor
ARGS="-v 1,dump_call_flags,tcpreplay"
then use tcpreplay
tcpreplay -i eth0 /tmp/l/x.pcap
when error appears like
sending out eth0 processing file: /tmp/l/x.pcap Warning in tcpreplay.c:replay_file() line 227: /tmp/l/x.pcap DLT (LINUX_SLL) does not match that of the outbound interface: eth0 (EN10MB)
probably captured on any interface and layer2 missing, here follow stpes on how to add it:
adding layer2 to pcap
after capture was done on any interface and you need to replay it to hw interface you need to add layer2 (at least in 3.4.3 v.tcpreplay)
tcprewrite --dlt=enet -i /tmp/l/x.pcap -o /tmp/l/x_enet-encaps.pcap tcprewrite --enet-dmac=00:55:22:AF:C6:37 --enet-smac=00:44:66:FC:29:AF --infile=/tmp/l/x_enet-encaps.pcap --outfile=/tmp/l/x_enet-encaps-l2.pcap
rewrite IPv4 address in whole pcap
when you need to test alert based on IP adresses (also country continent alert based on IPs) you can find usefull to change IP address in pcap and use it multiple times with various addresses:
tcprewrite --pnat=8.7.6.5/32:1.2.3.4/32 -i ./7efd0e8b87a54f48ac04b7a49fdf5669.pcap -o ./7e-rew.pcap
Rename mysql database
It's not possible to do it via direct command. You need to use RENAME TABLE command. With this SELECT you generate the commands for the rename of the all tables in the database. (Replace OLD_DB_NAME and NEW_DB_NAME)
SELECT CONCAT('RENAME TABLE ',table_schema,'.',table_name,
' TO ','NEW_DB_NAME.',table_name,';')
FROM information_schema.TABLES
WHERE table_schema LIKE 'OLD_DB_NAME';
The output:
RENAME TABLE OLD_DB_NAME.table1 TO NEW_DB_NAME.table1; RENAME TABLE OLD_DB_NAME.table2 TO NEW_DB_NAME.table2; RENAME TABLE OLD_DB_NAME.tableX TO NEW_DB_NAME.tableX;
Run these commands a you are ready.
Attention! Sometimes you can have a problem with moving of the foreign keys.
disabling TCP sack
On buggy kernels (all before 2019/03) following prevents SACK issue sideback is that on lossy lines (packet lost or big delays) the tcp traffic will increase)
echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_sack
