2026.7.3 (ESR) - Something POST /srv/se regularly, resulting in 404 errors

Contribute Bug

On a fresh dev container:

  1. open “/logs”
  2. on another tab, visit a few pages, change tabs
  3. “/logs” get filled with ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [POST] "/srv/se")

I tracked down the issue to /frontend/discourse/app/services/human-activity-tracker.js.

I’m getting this fairly frequently on my dev instance too (not on ESR). It just logs in the browser console randomly. Weird.

Thanks for letting us know.

I’ve informed the relevant team about this, though it might take a bit of time for a response here.

Thank you for the report!

@kris.kotlarek Fixed this in PERF: Reduce session engagement beacon traffic - Pull Request #42712 - discourse/discourse - GitHub and I’ve just backported the fix to 2026.7

By dev instance, do you mean your development environment? The /srv/se requests should not be happening in the development environment by default unless a particular ENV has been configured.

Hmm… it’s not there now, but I was sure I’d seen it previously.

You might have seen it before PERF: Reduce session engagement beacon traffic - Pull Request #42712 - discourse/discourse - GitHub was shipped. If you see it again while running the latest version. Let me know :slight_smile:

Perhaps it was that. I also see Frequent ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH errors in browser console in dev environment but that doesn’t look like it’s been remedied by any of this.

I’ll let you know if it fixed the issue on the next 2026.7.x :slight_smile:
