This is normal behaviour and should be ignored.

Flume automatically checks its config files for changes. If it detects a change it will reconfigure itself with those changes. The DEBUG entries you see above are Flume checking its config file.

Note that the reconfiguration process will not pick up all changes. I've noticed that new sources and sinks will often require a process restart.
