Hi everyone,

I'm running a FiveM server and I've recently noticed that a resource called guard keeps appearing / being started automatically every time my server starts.

I did not intentionally install this resource, and even if I remove/comment out ensure guard, it comes back after restarting the server.

My console is also being spammed with messages like:

[c-scripting-node] Filesystem permission check from 'guard' for permission fs.read on resource '/.dockerenv'
[c-scripting-node] Filesystem permission check from 'guard' for permission fs.read on resource '/proc/cpuinfo'
[c-scripting-node] Filesystem permission check from 'guard' for permission fs.read on resource '/sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor'
[c-scripting-node] Filesystem permission check from 'guard' for permission fs.read on resource 'server.cfg'

I also get a lot of:

[citizen-server-impl] server thread hitch warning

sometimes with delays of several seconds.

I previously saw:

[script:guard] Instantiated instance of script Monitor.TxAdmin.

I'm using yorkhost and txadmin, and I don't have SSH access, so I can only access the server through the txadmin panel and sftp.

My main questions are:

1. What exactly is guard?
2. Is it part of FiveM, txAdmin, or something installed by my host?
3. Why does ensure guard come back after every restart?
4. Could guard be responsible for the server thread hitches?

Any help identifying where this comes from would be greatly appreciated.

I can provide the full console logs, startup command, or screenshots of my txadmin configuration if needed.
