I was checking the logs of my PBS server, and stumbled upon these systemd log messages by proxmox-backup-proxy:
What do these messages mean? There are currently no tasks active, so it's quite baffling as to why these logs make it seem as if there are many tasks going on all the time. There is also no indication of which task or action was responsible for the creation of all these entries, or why there are different recurring amounts.
The logged data amounts seem to repeat themselves every fourth line and not change, so I think it's just some kind of current usage statistics output. It's just very weird that it's being logged so often, and in such an unhelpful manner.
