Hey

I wanted to know if this would be a possible bug.

When I click on "lfd Log" I get this output on the next screen

ConfigServer Security & Firewall - csf v2.94
Displaying the last 30 lines of /var/log/lfd.log...

everytime I go and check its there

Would it be a bug or anything that I have to do in my part?

Please let me know.

Thank you.

I've recently been getting this in CSF too. Looking in the Apache error_log file I see lots of warnings to do with SUExec.

Warning: SuexecUserGroup directive requires SUEXEC wrapper.
Warning: SuexecUserGroup directive requires SUEXEC wrapper.

So it's probably not a bug with CSF, but something to do with cPanel/WHM/Apache install.

Indeed. It's a protection mechanism within lfd to prevent it looping when there's flooding of one of the log files, in this case the apache error log.

and how can this be corrected?

It still showing the errors:

Can you let me know how I can fix this, I don't have much experience with LFD so if you could help or suggest anything.

Thank you.

lfd stops checking a log file if the log file (in your case the apache error_log) is being flooded with errors. You have to find out what's causing the problems with the apache error_log and fix that.
