Depends on your systemd configuration. ovirt-ha-agent and broker daemon's both log to stdout and it's own logfile. All messages to stdout will go to journald and be forwarded to /var/log/messages (ForwardToSyslog=yes in /etc/systemd/journald.conf I think).
So the ovirt-ha-agent doesn't log to /var/log/messages, journald does. if it should log to stdout is another discussion, but maybe there's good reason for that, backwards compatibility, don't know.

An easy fix is redirecting the output of the daemon to /dev/null. in /usr/lib/systemd/system/ovirt-ha-agent.service add StandardOutput=null to the [service] section.

Anything that may be causing that?  Centos7 ovirt 3.6.7
