Module status keeps running after it has been disabled

I rebooted my linux machine and started noticing these odd requests in my Apache access log.

::1 - - [16/Dec/2020:21:28:54 -0500] "GET /server-status?auto HTTP/1.1" 404 147 "-" "Go-http-client/1.1"
::1 - - [16/Dec/2020:21:29:07 -0500] "GET /server-status?auto HTTP/1.1" 404 147 "-" "Go-http-client/1.1"
::1 - - [16/Dec/2020:21:29:20 -0500] "GET /server-status?auto HTTP/1.1" 404 147 "-" "Go-http-client/1.1"
::1 - - [16/Dec/2020:21:29:26 -0500] "GET /server-status?auto HTTP/1.1" 404 147 "-" "Go-http-client/1.1"
::1 - - [16/Dec/2020:21:29:42 -0500] "GET /server-status?auto HTTP/1.1" 404 147 "-" "Go-http-client/1.1"
::1 - - [16/Dec/2020:21:29:58 -0500] "GET /server-status?auto HTTP/1.1" 404 147 "-" "Go-http-client/1.1"

I did some research on how to disable these requests and discovered they are part of a Apache module called "status". I disabled it, it when I run a2dismod status it appears to be disabled:

Module status already disabled

How can I get these requests to stop other than blocking them? I'd rather not have my access log filled with garbage.

You can use SetEnvIf:

SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/server-status?auto$" dontlog

More details here: https://www.howtoforge.com/setenvif_apache2

Or you can find why you have requests and disactivate it. Maybe a monitoring system ?
