The purpose is that neutron is monitoring the flow rules in that
particular table, probably in order ensure they remain correct.
Because neutron is running as an unprivileged user, it needs to use
"sudo" to gain elevated privileges.
The `sudo` command is, by default, quite verbose, which makes sense in
an environment where 'sudo' commands happen rarely as the result of
manual administrator actions. In an environment where it is part of
frequent automated tasks it can be an annoyance.
You can disable these messages for a *particular* user using syntax
like this:
Defaults:neutron !syslog
This will disable syslogging of sudo activity for user "neutron" while
still leaving it enabled for everyone else.
