Chapter 1. Admin Guide

1.1. Overview

This module is an implementation of a cache system designed to work with a regular SQL-based server. It uses the internal DB interface to connect to the back-end, and also implements the Key-Value interface exported from the core.

1.2. Advantages

  • memory costs are no longer on the server

  • the cache is 100% persistent. A restart of OpenSIPS server will not affect the DB. The DB is also persistent so it can also be restarted without loss of information.

  • Multiple OpenSIPS instances can easily share key-value information via a regular SQL-based database

1.3. Limitations

  • The module's counter operations ( ADD and SUB ) are currently only supported by MySQL

1.4. Dependencies

1.4.1. OpenSIPS Modules

None.

1.4.2. External Libraries or Applications

The following libraries or applications must be installed before running OpenSIPS with this module loaded:
