Good morning, I am working with a customer and their gateway logs are being flooded with the following message(s). They are running version 8.1.35. ```python |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.BasicTagDefinition.shouldBeEnabled(BasicTagDefinition.java:363)| |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.FolderNode.shouldBeEnabled(FolderNode.java:482)| |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.BasicTagDefinition.shouldBeEnabled(BasicTagDefinition.java:363)| |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.FolderNode.shouldBeEnabled(FolderNode.java:482)| |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.BasicTagDefinition.shouldBeEnabled(BasicTagDefinition.java:363)| |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.FolderNode.shouldBeEnabled(FolderNode.java:482)| |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.BasicTagDefinition.shouldBeEnabled(BasicTagDefinition.java:363)| |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.FolderNode.shouldBeEnabled(FolderNode.java:482)| |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.BasicTagDefinition.shouldBeEnabled(BasicTagDefinition.java:363)| |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.FolderNode.shouldBeEnabled(FolderNode.java:482)| |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.BasicTagDefinition.shouldBeEnabled(BasicTagDefinition.java:363)| |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.FolderNode.shouldBeEnabled(FolderNode.java:482)| |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.BasicTagDefinition.shouldBeEnabled(BasicTagDefinition.java:363)| |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.FolderNode.shouldBeEnabled(FolderNode.java:482)| |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.BasicTagDefinition.shouldBeEnabled(BasicTagDefinition.java:363)| |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.FolderNode.shouldBeEnabled(FolderNode.java:482)| |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.BasicTagDefinition.shouldBeEnabled(BasicTagDefinition.java:363)| |INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/09/05 15:44:53 | |at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.tags.runtime.nodes.FolderNode.shouldBeEnabled(FolderNode.java:482)| ``` 1. How do I stop the flooding of messages? 2. How do I identify and fix the root issue? 3. Is there a version where the issue is fixed? Existing topics suggest rebooting the gateway should help but I'd like to be certain that is the case before suggesting that to the customer. > [@Wrapper Logs Filling Up Quickly with "shouldBeEnabled" messages](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wrapper-logs-filling-up-quickly-with-shouldbeenabled-messages/71199/11): > > Infinite recursion (in java, not jython) is always a bug worthy of reporting to support.

It looks like the root logger may be called `*.batchoperations`, so if you can find that and set the level to OFF it might stop the log spam. I found a ticket that looks like it might be this and it indicates it's fixed for 8.3 but not in 8.1.x. It seems the root cause is a lack of validation preventing a user from drag and dropping a folder onto itself. ---

I did have the 2 items listed under \ ***.batchoperations** turned off but it didn't stop the spam. If I turn the 2 items listed under \ ***.batchoperations** off and then restart the gateway should that be sufficient to fix the issue or do I also need to delete any log files? ---

Just restarting the gateway should be enough if this is the same issue. Changes to loggers made in the gateway UI do not persist across restarts, but it shouldn't matter. ---

I will pass on the details to the customer and update this topic later.
