Syslog flooding

Asked by Moshe Caspi

Do you see this line in syslog which recently started to appear many times? Is it legitimate to appear many times?

I'm having the same issue, and my whole network stops. I need to stop and restart networking to get access again.

Thanks. Just for information, the idle monitoring looks like a new feature that started in Firefox version 118.0, but I don't see a reason why flooding syslog every few seconds.

Your network problem looks like a different issue, and you might want to open a new question.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Moshe Caspi for more information if necessary.
