Hi , i am having this issue with installing percona audit plugin in XtraDB Cluster 5.6.36-82.0-56-log and right after installing it , audit.log starts logging root events every seconds quickly. File size is going to be very large. If i set the variables to “exclude” root@localhost then it stops but i do not want to do that and keep monitoring root also. Is there a reason why it does that ? ( any inter cluster communication happening ). Please help.

Actually i figured out …it was PMM client on the same host causing connection failures.
