systemd[1]: eea.service: Failed with result 'timeout'.

[abyss02 0]

Hi all,

as ESET NO32 for Linux Desktop has been announced to be discontinued in 2022, i decided to migrate to ESET Endpoint Antivirus. I deployed an Eset Mgmt Appliance and installed the Eset Client to 2 Linux Server (Ubuntu 20.04) and one Fedora 34 Laptop. I actived all of them and registered them via agent installation.

So far so good, but.

If i restart the eea service on the fedora laptop, i randomply get a system load up to 9 (!) and i see this here after the load is back to <1:
