Research direction

Start by locating the dpd Dropshot request logging and reading how requests from tfportd are represented. Use looker -l info to observe the current noise, then verify that these messages no longer appear at info while remaining available at debug.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

All dpd dropshot requests are currently logged at the info level. With the interaction model between tfportd and dpd this makes for a very noisy log that's difficult to work with. We should consider demoting these messages to the debug level so looker -l info is easier to work with.
