I updated my droplet for the monitoring as a thing on my dashboard suggested it, it’s Monitoring Beta and now it sends a bunch of lines to my syslog every 15 seconds and it’s making it difficult to find the things I actually care about. This is what it looks like, how do I disable this?

Sorry about this. The feature this matches up with is in a closed beta right now. It was publicly viewable for a short time yesterday and this morning, by accident. :(
I’d recommend removing the agent by running one of the following commands depending on which Distro you’re running:
sudo apt-get purge do-agent
sudo yum remove do-agent
Installed as well, I’m seeing the same thing. Interested to know what exactly it does.
I installed it today also, saw a significant rise in CPU usage and data IO also. I don’t support you have any idea what this thing is meant to do? I see no option to make use of this data.
