This is my access log. It's a new thing, and I'm not sure where to even begin troubleshooting it.

[royo]

Do you know what server-status is? Have you tried removing it? Also, is there any cronjob that accesses it?

[SEOvB]

do you have a script that is checking the uptime of your server by any chance?
