Diagnose logs filling with TCPDump starting/ stopping on bcast in var/log/ltm

Seeing the messages below in the logs and CPU util spikes whenever the messages are seen.

 

Only one admin user on the device and I've checked running processes to ensure the user isn't running any TCP dumps at the time they are seen.

 

Can anyone advise on the cause of these messages and how to stop them?

 

Thanks!

 

Frank
