Server Version#: 1.112.0.359-0d79a49f
Player Version#: 1.112.0

When I review “Plex Media Server.log” after running a database optimization, I see some WARN and INFO and I am wondering if there is some action I should take to resolve them? Specifically:

Completely ignore the INFO messages.
You can monitor if the warnings persist after waiting fo things to settle (there could still be some backlog of background tasks). If you still see I those later, see if they persist after a restart of your server.
