Thank you very much for your answer Daniel!

The problem is that we are using the PUA module which using the timer to call update_pua for the records in hash tables. When there are a lot of records in the pua hash table, it takes time to process all records. The update_pua (in hashT_clean) and db_update are called every time when the timer is reached. Actually there are only a few thousands records, and it print in log continuously already.

So I can ignore these errors?

Thanks a lot again!

Hi, sometime we get the following error after we restart the kamailio for a while:

ERROR:<core>  [timer.c:972]: ERROR: slow timer too slow: overflow (1048 - 25 = 1023) ... last message repeated 138times ....

ERROR:<core>  [timer.c:972]: ERROR: slow timer too slow: overflow (1048 - 25 = 1023) last message repeated 49 times

it print them continuously....

is it normal?

there is some long task executed on timer, maybe on failure route. The timer should recover itself if the task is not executed every time.

...

How I can fix it?

You need to figure out what it takes long to execute and improve that. It is not a critical error, it keeps working. I am going to make that message a warning instead of error.

Cheers, Daniel

Thank you very much!
