Hi Nicholas, I have been using admintools on more than 150 websites over the years and this case has never happened to me. It is true that this server has never touched me because it belongs to the client and neither has a virtual tour script that we have had to put on a page (I mention it in case it gives you a clue).

The thing is, since it is published I receive more than 24 emails of this warning a day. I know this email from other websites, but I only get it when one of us makes a change. In this case I assure you that nobody from "us" or the "client" touches the website. So what could be happening? Could it be something to do with the server configuration? Or the virtual tour page? https://irizar-emobility.com/en/e-mobility-irizar

I also read this post: #33782 - false positives? but I find it strange that it's the database speed thing when the server they've set up for us is completely new?

Thanks

Hello,

as I wrote on the ticket you referenced to, the problem happens because there's some kind of delay while reading and writing data from the database or the filesystem.

Sadly there's no workaround for that, as you saw it happens on very few websites, my only suggestion is to disable such feature since it will flood your email with notifications.

OK, what exactly do I have to deactivate.

Inside WAF configuration, in the tab Hardening Options, set the field Monitor Critical Files to No
