I had recently installed PortSentry/LogSentry on our XTR by the company I purchased the RAQ from.

Not knowing the full details of the e-mails received I searched the sites and found nothing on it.

About every 15 min I get the following Msg:

I have been using the UI daily but not 24/7

Am I being hacked or is there a bug in the software.

Every 15 minutes on the quarter-hour, Active Monitor attempts to connect to all enabled services to ensure they are running. That is the source of your messages.
