see also here as already leveraged in February for ovirt node and
persist problems

It is only a matter of changing default values for  /etc/vdsm/logger.conf

In 3.3.1 and still in vdsm as in in 3.3.2 beta we have now

[g.cecchi at tekkaman ~]$ grep -B1 DEBUG /etc/vdsm/logger.conf
[logger_root]
level=DEBUG
--
[logger_vds]
level=DEBUG
--
[logger_Storage]
level=DEBUG
--
filters=storage.misc.TracebackRepeatFilter
level=DEBUG

Changing these lines in my environment to INFO kept off the DEBUG
messages with about one INFO message per second.
Or we could provide a page on the wiki and/or release notes where we
explain how to change logging levels and files involved if you think
that DEBUG for vdsmd is still the way to have.
