I haven't experienced any issues from this but it does clutter the log file a lot

May it be you are running on a virtualized environment and have not added a serial port to your VM?

To fix this either

  • add serial console to VM
  • check system console configuration ode and remove the serial entry

Yes it is a virtual environment, that was a simple fix. Removed the serial entry. I don't recall adding it, is it added by default or maybe erroneously detected?

VyOS ships a serial port interface in the default configuration upon installation.

Closing this one.
