Thanks Jirka, I may silence it :)

Every so often, one of my groups decides to send me a bunch of erroneous messages. Just figured out that if I started the ovirt-engine VM by hand, the ha-agent doesn’t seem to pickup that it’s running, but sends me “EngineDown-EngineStart” & “EngineStart-EngineUp” messages every 10 mins or so. Doesn’t affect the running engine, but more spam :) When I shut the running engine down and let the agent start it up, it shuts up about it, so something that happens during automatic launch that isn’t happening if it’s launched with —vm-start maybe?

I’ve had it send me similar messages seemingly randomly as well, no apparent cause and the engine vm shows no interruptions in uptime. Then it gets quiet again an hour or 3 later. No idea what caused it, just thought I’d mention it in context.
