Too many Logs created by Defender

The server hangs from too many logs created by the Defender. The File Scanning looks like stuck and returning 500 error in the developer console, and it is continuously running.

    Hi Lorraine ,

    The logs pointed list out many jpg files, and most likely it occurs if the images aren’t present in the directory path.

    Hi Lorraine ,

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you due to busy queue order in the Forums. Thanks for sending the login credentials, I’m passing these credentials to our developer to check further regarding what might have trigged such logs.

    It seems like the Defender Pro is deactivated, we’ll be testing the issue further by enabling Defender Pro plugin, I hope you don’t mind with us testing?

    Will keep you posted once we get further feedback regarding this asap.

    Regards,
    Nithin

    Hello Lorraine.

    I checked your WordPress installation and run Defender diagnostic scan without any issues (October 30, 2019 12:14 pm).

    I also checked the log files and last entries are Defender unrelated.

    Everything seems to work fine now.

    As we will keep an eye on log files, let us know if you need further assistance.

    Kind regards,
    Alex.

    Hello back Lorraine.

    At the time of checking your website, Defender was activated. I did ran a check again, and ran smoothly, without any issues. No 500 errors or timeouts.

    I did check your log and found nothing regarding Defender.

    Do you still experience issues? If yes, let me know and I ll happily try to replicate and resolve it. :blush:

    Kind regards,
    Alex.
