The syslog on my ovirt nodes is constantly logging errors from sampling.py:

These messages might have something to do with reading
information/statistics through the API.
But I've stopped all my (monitoring) processes using the API.
Restarting ovirt-engine and vdsm did not resolve the issue.
Both nodes and engine server are running oVirt 3.3.1 on CentOS 6.4
This may be a red herring but the values of disk statistics read
through the API are "static"/unchanging.
Any clues on whether these messages are serious and any ideas on how
to stop them
spamming my system logs?
