Constant `diagnosticd` Load When Oversight is Active

[chrisspiegl]

I was trying to figure out what was causing a constant load on my CPU into the process diagnosticd.

I learned that the process is about logging (aka into Console.app).

I tried eliminating what could cause the issue and the only application that brought down the diagnosticd down from around 8-15% to around 0% was disabling Oversight.

Anyone else having this experience?

I just also tried to update to version 2.2.2 and it also had this happening. I just wasn't sure if I already had 2.2.2 or not 🙈.

This is sometimes an unfortunate side effect of the log monitor OverSight uses to identify the responsible process accessing the Mic or Webcam.

That having been said, the latest version has some improvements that may remedy this!
