Hi, We are using the http queueing facility within the smsbox to handle the cases where there might be outages of our internal systems. On testing recently following a loarge outage of one system, I have found some strange behaviour. We had approx 400 messages in the retry queue due to the outage. each message was logged in the smsbox.log file with an ERROR that the content could not be fetched, however there was no indication that at all that any retries were being attempted, nor how many messages were queued (we don't run debug logging by default). I then found that the messages were being resent, one at a time, every http-queue-delay interval, even at the default of 10 seconds for the delay, that is one hour to resend 400 requests. I did initially attempt to add some code to test / send every message in the queue at the interval instead of one at a time, but my code obviously had issues so given that I can resend the data myself by hand quicker than kannel can resend it I settled with a simpler option of updating our policy in the instance of a longer outage to restart the smsbox and clear out the queued messages, then resend by hand. Could I suggest the trivial patch of changing the DEBUG statements in smsbox.c::http_queue_thread that indicate the queue length and the retry action into INFO statements instead, giving some visibility into the actions of the queue without having to resort to enabling debug logging permanently. -- Stuart Beck ----------- Systems Administrator m.Net Corporation No one knows Mobile like m.Net Tel.
