Modsecurity tools GUI not updating
Hey, reporting that looks like this issue -
https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/38699888251031-Eximstats-Track-Delivery-not-updating
possibly reflect on Modsecurity tools GUI for updates too, restarting tailwatchd refresh it to up to date but wont update until made another restart.
In tailwatchd log i see every second not exist path -
[1340715] [2026-03-04 15:38:24 +0200] [Cpanel::TailWatch] [INFO] /var/log/maillog/maillog has gone away. Looking for it to reappear every second.
instead of /var/log/maillog it adds extra /maillog.
but my hunch is that after the system refresh on tailwatchd restart, it in a loop for the not exist path and it hurt the GUI for modsecurity tools too.
Hopefully it will be fixed fast!

Hey there! While this isn't directly related to any issue with the ModSecurity interface, anything that uses the /var/log/maillog path will have an issue until CPANEL-51788 is resolved. I do see that there is a proposed fix, so hopefully that is released soon.
I've linked this thread to the internal case so I'll be sure to post an update once I hear one.

Hey Rex, i honestly think this issue reflecting on modsecurity gui too as its looping on [1340715] [2026-03-04 15:38:24 +0200] [Cpanel::TailWatch] [INFO] /var/log/maillog/maillog has gone away.
none stop every 1 sec, and when tailwatchd restart it fetch the updated gui from modsecruity audit log up until the time of the start and then start looping again [1340715] [2026-03-04 15:38:24 +0200] [Cpanel::TailWatch] [INFO] /var/log/maillog/maillog has gone away. every 1 sec, i guess it interfece with also not updating modsecurity gui.
i hope the fix release in a day or two like an hotfix for this issue.

I also hope this is a quick fix, which I think it will be!

Update - it looks like the root cause of this issue was actually the kernel version and that 5.14.0-503.40.1.el9_5.x86_64 had a broken implementation of the "inotify" tools. Anything using the inotify system was affected.
After several servers were updated to the 5.14.0-611.35.1.el9_7.x86_64 kernel this issue is no longer present.
If you have a kernel update available on your system I would definitely recommend running it at this time and see if that takes care of the issue.
