Those are normal administrative messages. swatch is the service that 
runs every 15 minutes to check the service availability on the server. 
cced is the 'database' daemon that maintains service state information 
for the GUI to display from.

In general, log entries on the even quarter-hour are almost always 
related to the normal system-checking-itself-out routine for Active Monitor.
