I'm not sure why this is happening, but I noticed while investigating why we are bumping up against rsyslog rate limits on barium:

Dec 17 20:51:03 barium drupal: https://civicrm.wikimedia.org|1450385463|wmf_common|127.0.0.1|https://civicrm.wikimedia.org/index.php||1||Beginning DB transaction

I'm not sure why we would want two log entries for what appears to be the same event. Furthermore sometimes the exact same line is logged >40 times over a few minutes. Maybe they're descrete events that need to be logged individually. This ticket is to review is happening in code and make sure we're doing what we intend to.
