bringing up the host and restarting the tools on master seem to stop the excessive logging.
EDIT: Bringing down host 3 triggers the alerts again
EDIT2: Looks like it may be due to how i shutdown the host. First time I put it into maintenance mode, then did the halt command. That caused the messages to come up.
Second time I just did halt and that caused the messages to come up.
Third time, i hit disable first then halt. So far seems the messages are no longer coming up.
I guess i should RTM more lol.
