MariaDB app - log filling with "Access Denied"messages

Apps and Virtualization
1

I am running MariaDB App ( App Version: v11.7.2; Version: v1.0.5) on Truenas 25.04.1

All seems to be working OK, but when I look in the log, it is filling up with the following repeated every 30 seconds:

025-06-05 00:54:21.572220+00:002025-06-05  0:54:21 3007 [Warning] Access denied for user 'root'@'127.0.0.1' (using password: YES)

Originally, I thought someone was trying to hack in, but it seems internal.
Any ideas what is going on here? Should I be concerned?
Cheers

Let me know when you figure it out, mine was throwing some cannot access something something .config errors last time I checked, every 3 minutes.

@afrosheen - That is a separate issue, but I think I know the answer to that one! as I had something similar.
go into the database directory and you will see one directory for all the MriaDB databases. FOr me, there was a stray .config file that was leftover from something(?) and MariaDB couldnt open it. So just save it somewhere else and delete.
