A VC stack has been constantly attempting to perform commits and failing. This is not user initiated and seems to be an automatic process (in the background)

These commits are not user generated, in fact using the command "show system commit" does not display any new commits at all.

An extract of the logs observed that repeat over and over:

Customer's syslog messages had enabled "interactive-commands any" :

syslog {

     file messages {

          any notice;

          authorization any;

          interactive-commands any; <-- This knob is causing commit data to display constantly.

     }

}

This knob is normally present in the interactive-commands file, not the messages. Removing that knob will prevent the commit entries from flooding the log 'messages':
 

# delete system syslog file messages interactive-commands any

# commit
