In engine.log, I get many lines like: grep '2016-08-03 13:00:46,371 INFO .org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.HostDevListByCapsVDSCommand. .org.ovirt.thread.pool-8-thread-16. .28054a0c. ' /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log | wc 1 8574 179635 1 line 8574 words 179635 characters. I think there is one such line for each host, I have about 15 hosts, it makes logs unusable. This info should be logged as trace, so it will be activated only when needed, or it should be send to a dedicated file.
It does not happen too often, only on refresh host devices, setting priority to low.
The hostdev support is going to be changed significantly in 4.1 - setting same milestone to handle also this.
The fix for this issue should be included in oVirt 4.1.0 beta 1 released on December 1st. If not included please move back to modified.
Verified with rhevm-4.1.0.2-0.2.el7.noarch. Invoking refresh capabilities on a host will produce just basic INFO messages in engine.log. When setting log level to debug level and re running the action, the full details including the output of HostDevListByCapsVDSCommand appear on DEBUG level messages.
