[Queue] Load Test

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

I’m trying to load test for QUEEU with asterisk16

my load result result

  • I made a 50 agents and 50 calls
    It’s OK with CPU 5~7% usage

  • I made a 100 agents and 100 calls
    It’s OK with CPU 9~14% usgage

  • I made a 150 agents and 150 calls
    It looked like it was working with CPU 18~ 24% usages. BUT I can see a WARNING MESSAGE like this
    ( Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz * 4Core )

I found this post! : Stasis State: Improved Management ⋆ Asterisk
so I upgrde asterisk 16 to 18. but The results of the load test were similar.

and I found that if asterisk process CPU utilization is less than 100%, there’s no WARNING mesage.
if asterisk process CPU utilization exceeds 100%, there are WARNING message.

I want to increase performance. is there good way?

Upgrade hardware for better CPU capabilities and optimize Asterisk configuration settings like threadpool and task processors. Implement load balancing across multiple Asterisk instances and monitor CPU utilization closely. Adjust settings to prevent CPU usage from exceeding 100%, triggering warning messages.
