[OpenSIPS-Users] What does exactally mean lots of warnings about timer_ticker in the log (OpenSIPS 2.1)?

[Eric Tamme]

Many things share the same timer, dialog expiration cleanup, 
userlocation cleanup, nathelper pings etc.  If one of the processes that 
is triggered by a timer route blocks for some period of time - aka a 
hung db query, it will cause the timer to "drift" and you will get logs 
indicating that a process that should have takeng X amount of time 
actually took Y amount of time - this is due to the blocking operation.

I would suggest that you use dedicated timer processes for as many 
things as you can - dialog, tm etc. see the module docs for how to do this.
