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?
