When the Livestatus log level was set to "Debug", the log file filled up with "Polling failed: Connection timed out" messages. Livestatus wrote one every 200 ms while a connection was waiting for a query, for example an idle keep-alive connection.

This timeout is expected and is not an error, so the message has been removed.
