CVP VXML Services needing to be restarted

Albert Edwards
Level 1
Level 1

Has anyone experience the need to restart the CVP VXML Server services, due to calls failing to Run Ext. Script (routing_VXML).If so what was the problem. License ?

That's a really rather vague description. This could have a multitude of causes, you'd really have to provide some more information, some log snippets that you've found etc..

Licensing seems rather unlikely though, if a license has expired or is otherwise invalid, that won't be resolved by a restart.

Cheers,

Kris

Thanks Kris, Here are some of the logs I found, take a look and tell me what you think. Thanks.

So, you're saying this works just fine then all of a sudden it starts to fail?  If so, are you sure nothing else changes?  The log you posted shows a lot of fetch errors, are all your promps in the right location and accessible?

david

Yes, that is what I'm saying. It was working fine, with no changes. However I found some new logs that may suggest there a memory problem.

You should examine what parameters you are giving to the JVM. Look in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apache Software Foundation\Procrun 2.0\VXMLServer\Parameters\Java

and Options (some irrelevant stuff omitted)

-Djre.home=C:\Cisco\CVP\jre

...

-XX:NewSize=512m

-XX:MaxNewSize=512m

-Xms1024m

-Xmx1024m

...

-DAudium.Home=C:\Cisco\CVP\VXMLServer

If this is a lab system - an all in one - there are so many Tomcat processes competing for memory you'd better have lots.

What's the hardware?

What Cisco processes are installed?

What else do you have? A SQL Server for example would be a bad idea.

Geoff

So a production box with 4GB of RAM.

It's not an Ops Console so the Tomcats you have are the Call Server and the VXML Server. If you are on 8.0 you will also have the Tomcat 6 for the WSM and it wants memory. Do you have that?

If you look at the system after it's been running for a while and see how much memory the two/three Tomcats are using and how much headroom from that 4GB you have, you may be able to increase the maximum heap space on your VXML server. Java programs often leak and although there is automatic garbage collection, they will often grow over time.

You should monitor the situation for a while. A regular scheduled restart of VXML doesn't hurt.

Regards,

Geoff

Thanks for having a further look through the logs, so the reason you see those errors in the Call Server logs is because the VXML Server or at least those apps that were trying to call went down. On the VXML Server logs, you can see indeed quite nicely that the VXML Server unloaded several of your vxml applications.

The VXML Server ran out of memory, that can have two causes

  1. It genuinly needs more memory than it currently has because of the call volume;
  2. Your VXML Server is leaking memory.

In my experience, the bare VXML Server is pretty much rock stable and doesn't really leak memory by itself and leaks that we do find are usually in custom / third-party Java code. So if you want to get to the bottom of this, you'd want to start monitoring your VXML Server memory. From the JVM parameters you've supplied this seems to be a 7.0 (or earlier) CVP, in 8.0 we open up the JMX port by default. You'll easily find documentation on the Tomcat webpage on how to enable the JMX port.

Through JMX you can monitor the memory and CPU utilization inside the VXML Server JVM real-time. You'll want to set a baseline, i.e. how much memory does it consume just after start-up & how much during normal call load. Check it daily, if the memory usage creeps up slowly you have a leak. There's some really cool open source tools that can profile your VXML Server real-time and tell you which threads are retaining all that memory (and which use the most CPU).

Have a look at VisualVM, truely magnificient application to do this kind of analysis.

If this happened only once in a year and you feel all of the above is a bit too much work, you can just allocate the VXML Server some more memory like Geoff explained ofcourse.

Cheers,

Kris
