Note that the default configuration of nova is not to use syslog.  So, unless nova's config has been updated, this isn't coming from nova code.  It's still something we should track down because I'm sure people will wonder what it is and call us about it.  But step 1 is figuring out what process is logging this.

I haven't seen this in Icehouse.
Though because of the vague nature of this bug, I cannot say if this is because it's fixed, masked, or I simply stopped doing whatever it was that caused it

I'm seeing this once again, though - much in final number of messages.
This started immediately after I've migrated a VM from computeA to computeB

First, messages started appearing on computeB, and once I've verified migration in GUI, messages appeared on computeA as well


ComputeB (1msg):

Message from syslogd@puma56 at Jun  1 10:02:56 ...
 1>


ComputeA (4msgs):
[root@puma55 ~]# 
Message from syslogd@puma55 at Jun  1 10:47:10 ...
 1>

Message from syslogd@puma55 at Jun  1 10:47:16 ...
 1>

Message from syslogd@puma55 at Jun  1 10:47:21 ...
 1>

Message from syslogd@puma55 at Jun  1 10:47:23 ...

The setup is available for more debug, should you like to see for yourselves.
