Same issue with 1.4.4
Just hit this with 1.4.6 as well.
To state that the spam is overwhelming would be a vast understatement. It dominates all log entries by a factor of 7. Please do something about this sooner rather than latter.
This is expected behavior, this appears from standby controllers and schedulers. You can tune these parameter on the binaries.. see leader-election params under --help. closing, not an bug
i cannot find any way to supress this exept turning upp the duration and thats not what we want.

I only dont want to fill elasticerarch with those messages. Why dont they have a proper loglevel there? When this which seems like an error has a higher log level?
K, I'll adjust the log levels.
Does the controller-manager start with by default? Did I understand this correctly that you moved it to ? Does this by chance have anything to do with the log for Ingress controllers as well and will be fixed in 1.6 ?
default depends on provider, some folks default to 3. Needless to say -v 4 "should be" outside the normal range to prevent spamming. verbosity on ingress controller is controlled by how that component is started, but I applied it to the base so it should hit *.
