Application Log Filling Up With Control Channel Reloads

[kpgraci]

Hi all,

 

I'm a programmer with just enough server knoledge to get into trobule.

 

On our hosted virtual 2008 r2 server, every 5 minutes there is a new set of events in the application log.

 

They start with the event: received control channel command 'reload' and then there is a series

of 7 additional events describing the success of the reload.

 

The result is a large event log.

 

Is this normal? What process is causing this? why would it need to 'reload' whatever its reloading

every 5 minutes?

 

Here is the initial event in detail.

EDIT:

 

This seems to be related to a program called WebSitePanel, which the hosting company uses to

manage the hosting account. Other than that I know nothing much else about it.

Hi, can please export the entire "set" of the error? It looks like the event ID is the number 3, but this is odd because of event ID 3 should be related to kerberos or spooler.

Here is the full series of 8 events (listed in order of event)

 

The referenced folder, 'C:\bind\etc\named.conf' has files that deal with DNS,

but I'm not at all familiar with how all that works. My thought is this

is normal setup but I should probably direct my query to the hosting company.

Everything is ok here, BIND is a DNS server which reads the file bind.conf every X minutes and apply (if possible) modifications. You could check on google if there's a way to disable this notification (maybe by logging only errors or waring).
