Mac mini 2018 or later
It means you have a launchd plist that is attempting to run Cisco videoguardmonitor, but it is failing to load. It is set keep trying to load (respawn) that program indefinitely.
Did you attempt to delete the Cisco software without using their uninstaller (or detailed instructions)?
launchd is the daemon responsible for starting programs when you log in or the system starts up. The preference list file (plist) controls how launchd is supposed to launch the program, including where to find the program in the file system.

Thanks for the reply guys
I've tried removing cache files from
sasha:~ sam$ rm -rf /Users/sam/Library//Caches/com.cisco.videoguard7/*
sasha:~ sam$ rmdir /Users/sam/Library//Caches/com.cisco.videoguard7/
some more checks
sasha:~ sam$ launchctl list | grep com.cisco.videoguardmonitor
- 127 com.cisco.videoguardmonitor
tried removing it..
sasha:~ sam$ sudo launchctl remove com.cisco.videoguardmonitor
but it still continues to spawn (checking the system.log in console)

This is so frustrating, im not sure if its this process that's eating all my mac's memory or not..
Thanks, i removed the below from /Users/username/Library/LaunchAgents/
-r-xr-xr-x 1 sam staff 453 25 Mar 09:01 com.logmein.GoToMeeting.G2MAIRUploader.plist
& also checked in /Library/LaunchAgents/ where i could find no related plist files.
I still get console showing

Is there a way to check the spawned process to backtrack where it parent process is? or any other places that i could check.
Thanks for your help.
Sorry I didn’t know what does it mean?
It's not a cache.
You need to remove the plist that is requesting it to run.
It is likely in your /Users/username/Library/LaunchAgents folder, but could be in /Library/LaunchAgents.
I don’t think so.
How did you install that software in the first place? See if you can find uninstall instructions on Cisco website.
launchd wont quit, Service exiting with abnormal code: 127 goes on forever.
