Description:
When using mysqlmanager to manage instances, it repeatedly tries to connect to each instance using a 'fake' username and password.  When logging is turned on, this failed attempted connection is repeatedly logged which can quickly cause the logfile to grow very large.  It would be preferrable if each failed attempt is not logged (since that is what should happen) so that legitimate failed connections can be monitored without the extra noise.

How to repeat:
Turn on logging for an instance in /etc/my.cnf

Start mysqlmanager to manage the instance.

Observe the following repeated message in log file:

051004 10:38:52     888 Connect     Access denied for user 'MySQL_Instance_M'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Thank you for the report.
