Bug Description

I added the following settings to /etc/masakari/masakari.conf.
--
log_file = /var/log/masakari/masakari.log
watch_log_file = true
--

And then I failed to launch masakari-api with above settings.
Masakari-api output error logs as follows:

$ masakari-api
Config option database.idle_timeout is deprecated. Use option database.connection_recycle_time instead.

[Impact on other projects]
watch_log_file and log_file are configuration options of oslo.log.
So I tried to set same options for nova-compute.
As a result, same issue occurred in the nova-compute process.

There is a possibility that this issue affects all openstack projects using oslo.log.

[Caus of bug]
I think the root cause of this isse is the following bug of pyinotify.
pyinotify is used by oslo.log.
But this pull requests is not merged yet.

I tried to replace pyinotfy to inotify according to the discussion with Doug.
But, the same error was occurred.

I confirmed issues of inotify.
As a result, I found the report about same error.

The above issue page said that epol is Linux only.
But, I was using Linux...
I'm asking about it on the above issue page.

The repository name is "PyInotify", but inotify's repository is this.
