active_watchers, location, presentity, watchers etc. mysql tables, or

location table with an "expires" date more than a month ago, but was
still not cleaned up today. Or OpenSER takes a different strategy?
Hi Bernard,
Old expired db entries in the usrloc data are only deleted when somebody tries
to access them. There don't exist e.g. a background process that cleans up
these entries.
This is because we expect to deploy OpenSER on a
fairly large network
and we are estimating database size and related overhead, and we are a
bit worry that accumulation of these stale records may increase our
processing costs.
As harddisk space is really cheap today this should normally not be a problem.
You could use for example some kind of cron job to drop once a week these
stale records.
Cheers,
Henning
