# Name

lj-lua-new-timer-errors - Nginx Lua Tracks Timer Creation Errors

This analyzer monitors and tracks errors that occur during timer creation in OpenResty and Kong applications. It captures failed ngx.timer.at and ngx.timer.every calls along with their error reasons, generating bar chart visualizations of error distributions. The analyzer helps identify timer resource exhaustion issues and diagnose problems related to timer creation limits.
