Hello, we enabled the “Tag Reference Tracker Store” in our tag provider’s advanced properties to hopefully better troubleshoot an issue we were seeing. This was originally disabled, and we have since disabled the reference tracker again, but the tags.subscriptions.provider.nodes logger is being flooded with “Removing listener that doesn't exist. path = …” INFO logs every 10-30 minutes.

Does anyone know how I can get these to stop other than just turning off the tags.subscriptions.provider.nodes logger? Did enabling the reference tracking also turn on something else that we need to turn off?

Thank you

I doubt this is related to the tag reference tracker other than coincidentally.

I would say if you want to troubleshoot further, tag subscriptions are an area with enough sharp edges that I'd recommend contacting support officially.
