• Dimensioning of VAPP log Insight.

  Hello

  The environment I care includes 15 vCenters, 760 guests, 10 k VMs

  Is it recommended to have 1 instance of insight journal by vCenter or 1 'big' to cover the whole of the environment.

  What features would you recommend for the instance of 'great', CPU, RAM, SIZE of the DISK, etc.

  Thank you

  John.

  Log Insight 1.0 supports a maximum of 750 directly attached devices or 7 500 events per second. Given the number of virtual machines, I suggest an instance of Log Insight by vCenter server instance. In terms of size and resources, see this document: Newspaper Insight 1.0 Virtual Appliance Sizing of VMware vCenter

  Log Insight 1.5 beta is currently off and support the same scale. One difference is that, during deployment, you can specify the size of the virtual device based on the ingestion rate.

  Scale-out for Insight journal is currently in development and is planned for a future release.

• Log Insight (v3.0.1) Linux Agent Install on VCSA v6?

  Documentation has information contradictory to decide or not to install the Agent of Linux Journal Insight on a version to 6U1 vCenter device.

  Within the Insight v3.0.1 journal the following statement indicates the Agent Insight of the newspaper must be installed:

  

  In the documentation of Log Insight 3.0 the following shows it takes to just install the syslog server in vCenter to transmit to the server of Log Insight.  No mention of the version of vCenter and no mention of the installation of the Agent of the Linux Journal Insight on the vCSA.

  

  So I turn to google, which only adds to the confusion...

  William Lam blog «a glimpse of native syslog support in VCSA 6.0» presents Preview setup of vCSA version 6 transfer of syslog logs and Log Insight.

  However, Steve Flanders blog ' newspaper the Agent: Linux Configurations for Common Applications " refers to the installation of the Agent of Linux Journal Insight.

  Anyone would provide clarification?  Is there a better method of practice?  If the Agent installation is the best practice that the agent provides on the native syslog in vCSA v6U1?

  Thanks in advance!

  Two books - the goal is just to get syslog to LI. The reason why LI says that you must use the agent is that vSphere content pack, and more particularly the dashboard "vCenter Server - Application" requires that the agent is stopped working. If you use syslog-ng, you will always receive the events, but this dashboard vSphere content pack will not work. I hope this helps!

• Vcenter 6 - integration vRealize Log Insight user access rights

  Good afternoon.

  I'm to deploy the solution to the latest version of vRealize log Insight. In my work asked me if I could create a user account only to integrate Vcenter vRealize Log Insight that wasn't the root of vCenter. Search for documentation, I found information on this subject. Also important to remember that this account will collect newspapers of my hundreds of ESXI.

  In the image below:

  

  It is a demonstration of the integration that I made using the default account with root access to Vcenter.

  You must provide credentials user with the following privileges:

  System.View

  Host.Configuration.Advanced settings

  Firewall and Host.Configuration.Security profile

  For more information you can consult the official documentation:

  Configure vRealize Log Insight to be learned from the events, tasks and alarms of vCenter Server Instance

• Log Insight 3.0 integrated Load Balancer application

  So I have a cluster of Log Insight of three nodes and active integrated load balancer entered the IP address and domain FULL that my clients are pointing to. Everything is good so far.

  I'd like to understand how balance really works, i.e. If one of the nodes becomes unavailable id still wait to be able to ping the address of the ILB?  the behavouir can I see at the moment is when the master is down so is the address of the ILB, is - this planned?

  Yes if your IP ILB was linked to the master, when he went to bed, the ILB IP is supported by another node, which explains why the ingestion continues. Which means that you can ping the IP, but if you access the UI through the VIP it tries to go to the user interface of the master master having died the user interface is not available.

• Log Insight 3.0.0 - 3021606 adding extra storage

  Documentation round add to other storage insight journal is not exactly clear, "you increase storage space by adding a new virtual disk to the Log Insight virtual appliance." You can add as many records as you need, and your environment allows "I don't think it's quite true, I read somewhere that a maximum of 2 TB can be added to a Log Insight device by adding an extra disk/s and is not increasing the current disc, can anyone confirm?

• Log Insight 3.0 + SNMP vRealize

  Hello

  Sorry for my trivial question, but it is possible to receive/collect SNMP interruptions in Insight journal vRealize? For example I want to collect all my logs/pitfalls of my blade servers (ILO and pregnant) in vRLI.

  Native support for the reception of the traps SNMP does not exist today. You can vote for the send and receive SNMP traps feature request.

  If SNMP source interruptions can be converted to Syslog or the log files externally, you can ingest them in newspaper Insight 3.0. For example, see 3.0 and Trap SNMP syslog-ng "Bazsi blog.»

• Log Insight Master - worker request

  Hello

  I tried to find this information in the documentation, but I can't seem to find it!

  How does the Master - worker relationship work?

  In our environment (I know it 'currently' is an unsupported configuration), we have 1 Master Log Insight and 8 workers who pull all syslogs, AD and domain controller logs is pulled by workers to their Insight local newspaper workers. When someone runs a query to the master, how the master knows what node to query to find this information? Is it just to ask each of them the same query and then once the worker replied "hey I have this here are the results. Or the master maintains a list of IP/DNS is drawn from where?

  Patrick

  Hey Patrick, today, the master asked all workers. I hope this helps.

• With device log Insight network connectivity problem

  We manage the virtual appliance 1.0 - beta and I noticed that the virtual appliance will fall the network periodically for a short period. I had constant pings, it will and it will just stop respond for anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes. You can also see in the capture where the data is missing in the user interface of screen attached. I know that we are not the problems with our ESXi hosts or dvSwitch because there are many other virtual machines running on the same host ESXi and same VLAN and they are not network connectivity problems. Does anyone else know this?

  Sounds like a network problem. Perhaps you have a dual IP / MAC address on the network? Do you perhaps have a routing problem on the network log Insight's sitting on that?

  Can you generate a bundle of support and download the instructions here: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/100852 (no need to SR just create a file called mvanbeck)

• vCenter Server does not send data to vCenter Log Insight

  I second vCenter server in another site, in Insight Log connection tests but I don't see any data from it...

  ESXi hosts connected to this server vcenter report their data after you run the command configure esxi on the tank.

  Where I can watch on the vCenter box that does not ensure that its installation correctly to send the data?

  Log Insight does not change to vCenter server so there is not place to search the vCenter Server (API calls only - you could try to look at events for the instance of vCenter Server view connection / disconnection of the events in log Insight). Usually when the vCenter Server events, tasks and alarms are not observed it stresses a connection permissions problem. The user specified for vCenter Server integration - must read-only permissions that are set on the object level superior vCenter Server and have you selected the checkbox to enable the authorization to broadcast across all objects? If so, can you generate a beam of support-> page Health Administration and transfer it by the directions here: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1008525 (not necessary for a SR, simply create a file called chasehansen)

• Cluster log Insight issue

  Is a node of Cluster of Insight of journal supported / two possible?

  No. 2 nodes are not supported, it makes the database very unhappy. If its 3 or 1 (stand-alone node) or multiple nodes.

• Log Insight Agent Compression application

  I'm sure that the answer is, but if someone can confirm is it possible to disable compression Log Insight?

  No, it is not possible to disable compacting today.

• Log Insight event channel - default behavior record

  Once a Windows Server has an Agent Insight of the journal deployed and configured and the system, Application and safety chains are monitored it sends all events generated on the server to Log Insight?  My guess is Yes, but for some events generated on the server I can't find in a search on the server Insight journal.

  As Marc mentioned, it's all by default. If you believe that the e-mail are missing, take a look at the page/admin/agents to see if the drops are reported.

• Log Insight 3.3 shows several entries host consuming licenses - can I clean it?

  Hi all

  So I installed the Log Insight 3.3 for vCenter and it helped me to set up log shipping. Everything works well except two things:

  1. Duplicate hosts (see below) consume all my OSI licenses. Anyone know how I can clean one of the entries? (Of course, I can add FQDN ESXi host name if this is useful and supported)
  2. 5.5 ESXi hosts are not in list host - configuration double checked and restarted syslog. Possible due licenses OSI are consumed by the host entries a copy?

  Release notes:

  The host table can display devices more than once.
  The host table can display devices more than once with each in different formats, including a combination of IP address, hostname and domain FULL name. For example, a device called foo.bar.com may appear as foo and foo.bar.com.
  The host table uses the host name field that is defined in the syslog RFC. If an event sent by a device via the syslog Protocol does not have a host name, vRealize Log Insight uses the source under the host name. This can cause the device being listed repeatedly as vRealize Insight Log cannot determine if the two formats are pointing to the same device.

  Advice would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  # 1 there is no way manually clear entries - for/admin/hosts the entry will be deleted once that all data from this host spun on (i.e. based on the retention period), for/admin/license if you click the question mark next to medium active HMOs, it says "The average County OSI active is the daily average number of hosts sending events to Log Insight." the big question is why are you seeing duplicates? Duplicates saw if DNS front AND rear are or are not configured correctly. Duplicates can also result in malformed syslog events.

  # 2, the question is not duplicated OSI - if this does not work, it means that something is wrong. It could be the network report including DNS resolution on the ESXi host or network firewall configuration (no configuration host firewall). You'll probably want to connect to and 5.5 ESXI host and check things like syslog configuration validation, confirming the network connectivity to LI, confirming DNS resolution to the syslog destination is work, etc..

  I hope this helps!
