** Description changed: + [Impact] + + There is a recent issue reported by one of the customer where the + journal is polluted by systemd with the following ignorable message; + + ``` + systemd[1]: Cannot find unit for notify message of PID <…>, ignoring. + ``` + + Due to the frequency of this message, it makes it difficult to read the + journal for any meaningful messages, and, if persisted journal is + enabled, will consume lots of storage for no reason. + + [Test Plan] + + After installing the new update, unless one sets the log level to debug, + these messages should no longer be logged to the journal.

There is an upstream bug available for that; https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/33583 It would be great if the log level can be reduced. Customer LP bug reference: LP#2130549 Thanks Bugra
