[OpenSIPS-Users] Continuous "WARNING:core:timer_ticker: timer task <tm-timer> already scheduled" messages in log

[Steve Woolley]

So i made two changes to my config:
per Bogdan, changed my timer_partitions to: modparam("tm", "timer_partitions", 4)
I had previously used some settings found in a number of configuration examples in my transaction module. After a little research, I commented them out. Still doing some research into whether these new (default) values may trigger other problems.  My new config is as so (snippet):
#### Transaction Module
loadmodule "tm.so"
# modparam("tm", "fr_timeout", 5)
# modparam("tm", "fr_inv_timeout", 30)
# modparam("tm", "restart_fr_on_each_reply", 0)
# modparam("tm", "onreply_avp_mode", 1)
modparam("tm", "timer_partitions", 4)


Since making these changes and restarting, the messages have gone away.
