    Unexpectedly, i start do see CPU over 100%.

    Digging into Apache access.log, i had find that /main/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wsal-auditlog is trying to redirect to other location (see image here).

    Can you explain that?

    Closing browser tab Audit log viewer, solved the problem. But it seems to happen always this page is open during some time.

    Hi,

    yes, it’s my first time using WP security audit log. I’ve installed this 2 weeks ago. Doing some tests and considering a premium purchase.

    Trying to reproduce the issue:
    1. Open Audit log > Audit log viewer
    2. After some hours with that page open, i start to see apache access.log with redirects every second. /main/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wsal-auditlog redirect to other location.

    Digging your code, didn’t find any script to redirect wsal-auditlog page!!

    Thanks.

    We are also seeing a huge increase in CPU usage with Al active – as soon as we deactive the plugin, the CPU drops back to normal usage amounts.

    This has become a MAJOR issue for us as we have it installed on over 500 websites.

    @maamaral,

    To start off with, those are not auto redirects. Those are the auto refreshing requests, so the audit log always auto refreshes. Here is a quick test to see if this is the issue;

    Can you disable the auto refreshing of the audit log from Settings > Audit Log (tab) > Refresh Audit Log Viewer? Just set it to Manual and save the options.

    Can you confirm if the CPU issue is solved when the auto refresh is turned off?

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    before trying to disable the auto refreshing of the audit log thought Settings, i’ve tried to reproduce the issue.

    It’s a quiet frustrating, but i can’t reproduce the same behavior. No CPU overload.

    Maybe @csgaraglino can add some thoughts…

    Thanks.

    Hello @maamaral,

    Well, it could have been something else then affecting the CPU usage, but glad all is sorted. Also, @csgaraglino ‘s case could be different, especially when considering every website is unique because of the themes and plugins used.

    Should you notice such behaviour again, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
