Which background task looks for pg_xlog in 10?

I see this in /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-10-main.log:

postgres postgres(at)template1 ERROR: could not open directory
"pg_xlog": No such file or directory

postgres postgres(at)template1 STATEMENT: SELECT count(*) AS segments
FROM pg_ls_dir('pg_xlog') t(fn) \
WHERE fn ~ '^[0-9A-Z]{24}$'

Where does this come from?

Regards
Johann
