system log errors

My Mac seems to be running normally. However I notice in the system log hundreds of entries like:

Sep 30 08:59:59 nealnt.local UserEventAgent[181]: Could not get event name for stream/token: com.apple.time/406: 0x3: No such process

Sep 30 08:27:11 nealnt kernel[0]: Sandbox: sandboxd(54321) deny mach-lookup com.apple.coresymbolicationd

Sep 30 02:00:16 nealnt.local sandboxd[52316] ([7422]): Mail(7422) deny file-read-data /Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

Probably there is no cause for concern. But they probably occupy cpu time. Also it makes using the system log as a troubleshooting tool very difficult.

Any comments on this?

Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

I am getting this same message as well, at the very same time. This goes on for 60 seconds every day and produces the following message about 350 times in the console:

10/6/12 8:59:59.038 AM UserEventAgent[509]: Could not get event name for stream/token: com.apple.time/4352: 0x3: No such process

.

10/6/12 9:00:00.005 AM UserEventAgent[509]: Could not get event name for stream/token: com.apple.time/4577: 0x3: No such process

I don't think we will get any help on this unfortunately.

If your Mac and Time Machine run normally, don't care about this logs in the Console.

I've deleted the com.apple.mail.plist in Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences, as said in Constant stream of sandboxd Mail error...: Apple Support Communities

and the logs about coresymbolicationd and com.apple.mail.plist have disappeared.

I've the log about stream/token once by day : perhaps, you can search a plist about a software customising Time Machine (like TimeMachineEditor, …) and delete it.

Search in the Preferences of your account, then in the Macintosh HD Library.

(I had hundred of entries about fseventer, and deleting its Preferences plist solved the "issue" : sandboxing seems hating old Preferences plists, and writes the new plists in Containers).
