Description of problem:

Every 10 seconds Salt Minion logs the following event into /var/log/messages filling the log:

admin01 salt-minion: {'jid': '12345678910111213', 'return': None, 'success': True, 'pid': 39743, 'fun': 'ceph.heartbeat', 'id': 'admin01

It seems salt-minion writes this to stdout/stderr (and systemd puts it in /var/log/messages).

Can this heartbeat be relocated to /var/log/salt/minion directory to prevent spamming the /var/log/messages?
