The flooding of the tasks in Satellite appears to be a side-affect of the virt-who checkins. Is it possible that the user has multiple virt-who servers and they are all checking in at different intervals and times? Has it been confirmed that a specific virt-who server is checking in more frequently than expected?
Verified in Satellite 6.2.7 Snap 1 The hypervisors tasks does appear to be linked to vm actions (create, destroy, etc). Below is a list of hypervisor tasks. These aren't kicked off due to the virt-who interval (set to 900), but the initial checkins and then vm actions. -bash-4.2# hammer -u admin -p changeme task list | grep -i hypervisors d56f6858-31e0-4e69-aee3-4e8fcb16fe59 | | admin | 2017/01/15 18:33:44 | 2017/01/15 18:33:45 | stopped | success | Hypervisors | ba5351e4-41c4-4998-b15b-64d945088719 | | admin | 2017/01/15 18:31:00 | 2017/01/15 18:31:01 | stopped | success | Hypervisors | 640a793a-aa10-454c-a89c-f3d66d62480c | | admin | 2017/01/15 18:19:15 | 2017/01/15 18:19:16 | stopped | success | Hypervisors | 6d2e51a7-b382-4575-ad77-1dbe4fb406b1 | | admin | 2017/01/15 18:18:12 | 2017/01/15 18:18:14 | stopped | success | Hypervisors | 6c95d17b-3858-4eef-a3ee-099a11a7bb5c | | admin | 2017/01/15 17:29:50 | 2017/01/15 17:29:51 | stopped | success | Hypervisors | 604486a8-795c-40ed-89d1-e161afb95254 | | admin | 2017/01/15 16:57:01 | 2017/01/15 16:57:09 | stopped | success | Hypervisors
