Maintenance window generates thousands of messages

We have bee struggling with a disk space problem on our zenoss box.  Initially we though it had to do with a broken zeopack script.  We fixed that and still we were loosing spac.  Yesterday we discovered that our history table had 2M rows.  We used the DeleteHistory.py script to remove data.  It is reasonably certain that this has come about since our upgrade to version 2.5.2.

 

Our zenactions log thousands (millions?) of entries like this:

AND for some reason these are being captured in the history table for device localhost...

 

Does anyone know why we get these messages every few milseconds during the maintenance windows?  Any ideas about these getting to the history table - is this typical or specific to our SNMP settings on the zenoss box?

    Re: Maintenance window generates thousands of messages

    The Maintenance Windows are working, and the date/time are correct and are being updated by a time server.

     

    There was a problem with the Maintenance Windows - but I cannot remember the sequence of events.  I am assuming that after the most recent DST shift, that we had a problem.  I believe that I found a script that was supposed to correct the problem and that it ran without issue.  But the Maintenance Windows still failed to be active at the correct time.  I deleted all of the  MW's and recreated them.  I may have upgraded to 2.5.2 at that time to see if it would correct the MW issue.
