Not all messages are truncated. One of our XML loggers truncates long
XML lines to avoid flooding the logs. In those logs, the XML is just a
bit of extra debugging detail to get an idea of where it is, so nothing
is really lost.

Yes, that annoys me every time I see it. :) It's at info level to
indicate it's not a problem of any kind. I forget the exact details, but
stonithd checks CIB updates for any resource to see whether they affect
any registered fence devices.
