That message should only pop up when pacemakerd has just been started... someone/thing is calling pacemakerd over and over.

I'll make the following change for rc2.  There is really no need for query operations to be logged at info.
With those removed, are the cib logs more acceptable?

The default value for PCMK_logpriority, when sending logs to syslog, is 'notice'... that should contain enough information to be useful without being completely overwhelming.
its only the log file that is logged at level 'info' but you've already disabled that with PCMK_debugfile=/dev/null.
