Hi, can anyone tell me why these queues are so high and are growing day by day? This is a brand new Asterisk install. All it does is answers, plays hello and hangs up. I also get lots of these messages: [Mar 15 10:20:51] WARNING[10609][C-00000001]: taskprocessor.c:737 taskprocessor\_push: The ‘811ad10a-c567-4e8f-9b50-bb6a367d9c2a’ task processor queue reached 500 scheduled tasks. 13.7.2 ``` axis*CLI> core show taskprocessors +----- Processor -----+--- Processed ---+- In Queue -+- Max Depth -+ Sorcery 0 0 0 a6823b23-c605-4533-9eb3-0d61b2344e4f 1 0 0 9e435d66-b016-47ec-aa5d-8182cd891e52 2 0 0 4aa00068-b970-4afd-bcf2-697116badb3b 27238 0 221 0afda83b-1426-464b-a39c-f56100bc901c 298 0 1 21101681-ed6c-46d1-81fa-097bd59e67e5 27139 0 221 app_voicemail 0 0 0 5e6c2937-2799-4981-8f9b-a3f3df494723 297 0 1 4f89920f-25a2-4444-9a5e-abf599b9fb70 0 0 0 stasis-core-control 15 0 3 49697d1f-0aeb-4e83-9b62-0a1fb1dbeb8e 1 0 0 0db48c9c-1752-4890-a42c-8a45fd11d3c5 299 0 1 ast_msg_queue 0 0 0 CCSS core 0 0 0 4a190fc4-2ae1-415b-bb17-673432a499bf 939 0 1 e24fb0b5-79e2-4d94-b702-c6224f7f1b64 21226 0 148 Sorcery-control 1 0 0 2969ee40-6d17-458f-82fd-9404834fddbc 212 0 0 13a37567-4839-4740-80f3-3f7588dca499 1 0 0 c55e375d-a031-49d6-8d3d-3cfdf9329f68 0 0 0 70b91cc2-f352-45b4-a20e-f3d871d32527 941 0 27 c378567f-3c77-4fc3-b9e7-505145d71195 1 0 0 stasis-core 2 0 0 hep_queue_tp 211 0 0 iax2_transmit 0 0 0 31febb7d-fb3d-4b8f-bd43-063bcd9eeee8 940 0 0 +---------------------+-----------------+------------+-------------+ 26 taskprocessors ``` ---

When Asterisk 13.8.0 is released the names of the taskprocessors will provide more detail about what it is for. From a general perspective though a taskprocessor is a queue of work items. If the act of handling these work items takes a long time then the queue will grow. The queue will also grow if a lot of work items are added to it at the same time. Your output doesn’t show any taskprocessor backed up, so there doesn’t appear to be anything blocking it indefinitely. A description of what was precisely going on when the message was output would help determine why it grew. ---

The message is outputted every time the system starts up before it accepts a single call. Then the queue just keep growing without the system doing anything at all. At least anything I’m aware of. ---

core show taskprocessors doesn’t show any queue that is growing out of control and not being handled, do you have a lot of devices or something? ---

Im not sure what you mean by devices. External Phones and such? I have no external devices. Do you know when 13.8.0 will be available? ---

As I haven’t seen such message at startup and noone else has mentioned it there must be something unique to your system or configuration to cause it. What configuration do you actually have? Any SIP entries? As for 13.8.0 I’d expect it in a few weeks. ---

Yep, I have 1 SIP registration. ---

Please provide the console output from startup showing where it shows a high taskprocessor queue… ---

Your verbose level is not very high and thus doesn’t show much. asterisk -vvvvvvvvvvvvgc would be good. ---

Its a lot of output. Not sure how to remove the color so it can cause display issues but here it is: [console output link](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61083309/files.twg.org/files/asterisk.out) ---

I don’t see the message in the new log, does it happen all the time? Since the queue does get handled and not backed up it may just be worthwhile waiting until 13.8.0 to see what the queue in question is for. ---

Heh. Of course when I post the big log it doesn’t happen. Ill just wait for 13.8 to get more information. Thanks!
