Increase retention of journal vpxd

During the recent security audits, asked me ball 6 months of vcenter access...

Credentials are validated by Active Directory - on the DC security logs, we can see the server vcenter, but not especially viclient-related events.

The alterative is the vpxd newspaper, which shows that when a user authenticates with the default settings however, each 50 MB log gives me 30 minutes of posting (I supervisor of rogue logging in and out every few seconds), I looked at other systems and I don't get more than a few hours a vpxd prior to rollup

Ko 1004795 is quite clear on the increase in vpxd.cfg.

< maxFileNum > 50 < / maxFileNum >

< > 5242880 maxFileSize < / maxFileSize >

But it seems a remarkable silent about running in production environments, no mention in the hardening guide either, I would need to increase logging much, maybe double the size of the file and 500 newspapers instead of 50... are there people who do this.

An alternative is the task and the events in the database of the vc - 180 days, the value that I would need to identify the correct table and then extract them directly with a sql query

I'd appreciate your comments-how are you keeping listeners happy...?

roconnor, just figured it out. VC event logs contains all this information. Please export all the event logs of VC of 180 days and go through them, you will get the logging for VC information.

Thank you

    Hi Vivek,

    There is a file of foglight under \config\ log.config

  • Retention time of journal ACS

    .

    Hello

    I have the ACS SE 1120 device running version 4.2. My client wants to know how long it can preserve the newspapers in ACS. I checked several other positions that they speak " when a log file reaches 10 MB in size, ACS starts a new log file. "ACS maintains files of newspapers over recent seven for each CSV log "

    However when I tried to view the logs of authentication failed for a month. I could see them.

    I don't understand how long ACS preserve newspapers.

    Concerning

    Ritesh

    Hi Ritesh,

    It is not the matter of time, but it is related to the size of the file. If you are able to check the remote logs of the last month, indicating that the log file failed does not cross the size of 10 MB. Once the size will cross 10 Mo, he'll write another file.

    Thank you

    You can use DBA_HIST_SQL_PLAN

    You need a larger shared pool or you need to reduce the number of operations that could invalidate these plans.

    Hi Greg,.

    What are the advantages and disadvantages of this change in terms of speed of backup/restore?

    A single file means a process can read during a restore.
    But if you only use a channel should not be an impact on the speed of backup and restore.

    On average increases the number of channels can speed things up (you should test what is optmal for your system).
    Change e.g.

    SET UP THE DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP BACKUPSET TYPE;

    TO

    SET UP THE DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE PARALLELISM 2 TYPE OF BACKUP BACKUPSET.

  • Increase in the number of samples taken per second

    So I am a beginner in LabVIEW, and I work in a program to help me with some research. I enclose my VI below, and I take the data at a rate of almost 2000 samples per second (using the express deadline fixed VI a.001s). However, I need to be taken of data to approximately 10,000 samples per second, but if I try simply decrease the amount of delay (up to a.0001s), does not increase the sampling rate.

  • V5-572pg Image retention, contrast flashing and limitation of

    Hello, people

    I bought this super ultrabook on February of this year and just started using it.

    There are a few problems that I am aware of I checked some of them and even asked the Acer support,.

    and so now im asking you.

    And if there is any chance that you have not this laptop again and planning to buy it. Buy the one with nvidia, do not ask, but just buy the nvidia card. Less troubles there.

    _________________________ solved

    The first and the main problem im aware of is the persistence of image or whatever it's called.

    Whenever you stay inet-Surfin ' for half an hour or two hours - an chrome address bar

    with its own symbols and favorite STAR button remains on screen, even if you close the chrome.

    Still, even if you restart your computer and melted from a while. I heard that it is a picture

    support for retention and acer told me that it is not usual and I have to go to the service, but

    every single user of the laptop was told that happens some time and OK at all. no need to worry

    They said. On the screen as you can see my wallpaper of space and a slightly noticeable google chrome address bar:

    found an old topic on S7 series and he talked about saturated contrast by acer and it seems FINE

    Confirm it as resolved. Driver Intel HD seems to saturate contrast... the 'lower contrast (increase)' to 0 and there's nothing left.

    A question to a technician: is retention bit in contrast to saturated hurts the display somehow? and it's the retention can get permanent?

    _________________________ solved

    The second thing is freaking flashing contrast. I unchecked all points of auto contrast

    options on a intel driver and firmware but its still takes a very big bites of my nerves.

    Whenver you change a big colorful image to one another, but not so much contrast - screen changes

    the contrast itself and the eyes go BOOM like that in a few moments.

    Thank you, it seems I got a solution on the flashing. Œuvres and clocks.

    _ cannot do anything yet

    Third problem is the limitation. I don't really know how is it resolved and google a few points of it.

    But couldn't some temperatures to implement high temperatures to choke and I'm totally stupid

    at his home. So seek help. BF3 and Mortal Kombat with 60 images/s is ok, but after a few minutes its similar 5 fps

    and it's hot, but every time you take of your charging cable and bring him back he comes quickly that it was

    for some time yet... then repeat.

    And the only thing more. I do not understand why, but I just can't disable buttons brightening. Whenever I turn it off

    and then to lock my computer as it gets activated whenever I get my laptop started.

    Thank you very much. I'm sorry for my English, as I have learned through the internet and also sorry for not really

    Google search through the forum cause I'm short on traffic. Thanks for all those who will enter the topic

    I'm trying to update the message at the top of the page as soon as possible. Please correct me on my troubles because most

    topics/solutions that I found do not directly concern v5-572pg

    I do not think that Acer put available settings.

  • I want to disable the USN journal because of the huge size and fragmentation

    In fact, I decided to use Windows again after 7 is out and seems relatively stable.  I've been a Linux user for many years.

    I want to disable the USN journal because of the huge size and fragmentation; I am not concerned about its performance in the fragmentation, I am concerned about the fragmentation of other files that it encourages rather SHORT time same amounts.  Not all programs have created allowances size correctly when creating new files so even a new file which was one copy of another (100 MB) can be fragmented over 30 times in a NTFS FS relatively fully defragmented.

    Microsoft?  HOW DO DISABLE YOU THE USN JOURNAL IN WINDOWS 7?  Not "How can I clear this" or "how stuck junk to existing articles"...  How is it DISABLED?

    However, I am sure that you can not turn it off for the system volume.

    You will get a response from Microsoft here.

    Just one extra point. I guess that you are talking about the \$Extend\$UsnJrnl:$J metafile; It is a fragmented NTFS file. The oldest entries are reset to zero while the file increases so they don't take any physical disk space. Actually used disk space may not exceed greatly MaxSIze + DeltaAllocation.

  • Custom data retention policy

    Hi all

    Is it possible to set up below the retention to Foglight (5.6.10) policy.

    * Save 10 minutes for 90 days and then purge *.

    Kind regards

    Roshan Varughese

    Hi Roshan,

    You must set all three generations in the custom retention policy to preserve data for 10 minutes.

    Please find the custom in FMS UI retention policy under: management data/servers/server management / retention policy/policy current. Here, select the menu drop-down and click custom.

    Once there you should be able to select 10 minutes for each generation, then purge the data after 3 months. (see image below)

    Keep in mind that political detention is very granular and the size of your database is likely to increase. Also, when you use larger slots in the user interface, the server will have to deal with more values and will add a certain amount of overhead.

    More information in Foglight documentation - creation of custom retention policies.
