Traffic between 2 relays

Hi,

Is there a reason why 2 relays might generate network traffic between them if none of them is parent for the other (they have the same parent relay which is the main server?

Thank you!

How are you monitoring this traffic?

Is it trough the port 52311?

What type of traffic? ICMP? TCP? UDP? Port?

How much and how frequent is the traffic?

Sorry, I misunderstood the situation as the issue was formulated wrong.

We actually have a few devices that had a peak traffic usage on these 2 devices and this caused issues, users experiencing slow response and applications not responding.

The weird part is that we didn’t have any large deployments on any of these devices when the peak got signalled.
Any ideas what can we investigate on this?

On relays’ logs we had entries as seen below:

Thank you!

Which port do you identify to be used during that overload?
The logs shows that also bigfix had problems to communicate to parent device

Are the relays Windows or Linux? Is the parent Windows or Linux?

All Windows. Port 52311
