We have noticed on some of our new installations that utilize MAAS that we are seeing in our logs that MAAS is logging in every 5 minutes. My assumption is that this is to verify that the power stat is still valid. This is causing the logs to get very muddied on our systems, and possibly causing us some other issues. We do not see this same behavior on other systems that have been installed with other MAAS setups. I cannot find anywhere where this is configured. Does an option exists to disable or change the timeframe for these checks?
No, this can’t be disabled. The check is performed to grab information about the current power state of the machine (you might power on machines manually, or your machine might be powered off for whatever reason and without this periodic check MAAS would not know it)
