Repeated ‘activejobs’ records in logfile

    2 years, 2 months ago

    I am seeing repeated entries like this in my /var/log/httpd/[website]_access.log file

    They are appearing every 9 seconds.

    GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=updraft_ajax&subaction=activejobs_list&nonce=d0a41ad70a&downloaders= HTTP/1.1″ 200 149

    Is this normal? If not how can I get rid of them?

    Yes, It is normal. It is check if any backup process has remained to process then it processes it otherwise this call doing nothing.

    You should not worry about it.

    Thanks for reaching out to us.

    Thanks for the reply. Is there any way to stop them? Every 9 seconds seems a big excessive especially when the backups are done just once a day?

    I’m asking because my site is getting a lot of hack attempts and working through the log files to find the nasty guys takes a lot of time with all these entries.

    Unfortunately, you can’t change it. Please accept my apologies for it.

    You can deactivate the UpdraftPlus plugin when you don’t require to take a backup.

    Thanks for the reply. Something has changed on the site. The websever is restarted every day at 04:10 with all the old logs being archived. Since the last restart the interval of the ‘activejobs’ log has increased and then stopped. The truncated logs look like this

    [05/Jan/2023:04:31:41 +0000] “GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=updraft_ajax&subaction=activejobs
    [05/Jan/2023:05:32:26 +0000] “GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=updraft_ajax&subaction=activejobs
    [05/Jan/2023:06:33:12 +0000] “GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=updraft_ajax&subaction=activejobs_
    [05/Jan/2023:06:41:28 +0000] “GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=updraft_ajax&subaction=activejobs_
    [05/Jan/2023:06:43:04 +0000] “GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=updraft_ajax&subaction=activejobs_
    [05/Jan/2023:07:52:03 +0000] “GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=updraft_ajax&subaction=activejobs_
    05/Jan/2023:07:52:07 +0000] “GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=updraft_ajax&subaction=activejobs_

    I will watch the behaviour over the next week.

    Hi, these requests aren’t related to a backup directly, but to having the UpdraftPlus page open in a web browser on the “Existing Backups” tab. It polls for status. If you don’t want that, close the page or change tab.

    Ah… got you. I understand the behaviour a lot more now. Thanks
