tailwatchd - chkservd on my.domain status: hang

[danyboyj]

3rd time today I've had the following email:

The chkservd sub-process with pid 29305 was running for 301 seconds. The sub-process was terminated as it exceeded the time between checks of 300 seconds. Please check /var/log/chkservd.log and /usr/local/cpanel/logs/tailwatchd_log to discover the cause.

and here's tailwatchd_log (last entry was yesterday though):

Is it safe to ignore these warnings?

I received the same from various Cloud VMs and assumed rightly/wrongly that it was due to last night's updates.

4 more emails today :

The chkservd sub-process with pid 4887 was running for 301 seconds. The sub-process was terminated as it exceeded the time between checks of 300 seconds. Please check /var/log/chkservd.log and /usr/local/cpanel/logs/tailwatchd_log to discover the cause.


Is something going on behind the scenes?

I received two today from enlight Cloud.

Contrary to my initial reply, it appears (at least now) that the messages are only coming from the eNlight Cloud.
After a spot of Google, I've tried the following:
/scripts/checkperlmodules
/scripts/upcp --force
Although a couple of files were updated and file permissions changed, this hasn't stopped the messages. I have however noted that they appear during spells of exceptionally high Load, along with exim queue size error and load error notifications.
