Sophos UTM DHCP server: "dhcpd: Server starting service" every 5 minutes

We are running a DHCP server (not a relay) on our Sophos UTM. In the DHCP logsI see every 5 minutes the log below.

It looks like the DHCP server is restarting every 5 minutes. Is this normal? Why every 5 minutes?

Thanks, Richard

And then 5 minutes later exactly the same messages. Is this normal operation?

  • Hello R,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community!

    What version of the UTM version are you running?

    Are you running the UTM in HA?

    Do the selfmon.log and mdw.log give you any error, at the time the DHCPd service restart?

    You can use this command to find the time the DHCPd service restarted, form the Shell of the UTM, make sure to change accordingly to the month you need

    zgrep INFO-122 selfmon/2020/11/*

    regards,
