• VMA Syslog, creating too many log files

  I've implemented our VMA server as a syslog server for our ESXi hosts. I ran the command below to put in place.

  vilogger enable - Server server.domain.com numrotation - 3 - 10 - 10 collectionperiod maxfilesize

  The logs files are being capped at 10MB, but it has already created 4 log files for messages (messages.log.1, messages.log.2, messages.log, messages.log.3). My understanding is that the parameter - numrotation would limit the number of files to 3. Can someone tell me why it does not work?

  Thank you

• Syslog config

  all,

  can someone enlighten me with this command:

  logging trap . When I configure logging trap 6, that means I only send level 6 logs to syslog server or all levels of 0 to 6?

  Hi John,.

  This means that messages syslog with levels from 0 to 6 inclusive will be sent to the configured syslog server.

• How to find the dump of the ESXi Collector and Syslog collector dump is set or not

  Hello team,

  I have 1000 ESXi hosts in our environment, I just want to confirm ESXi DUMP collector and collector dumpl Syslog is configured on all ESXi hosts or not.

  I beg you to help me with powerCLI scrip because it will save a lot of time hell and it will also help me to avoid any human error.

  In advance, I appreciate your help and your support.

  concerning

  Mr. VMware

  Try something like this

  Get-VMHost |

  Select Name,

  @{N = "Syslog collector"; E = {}

  $script: esxcli = Get-EsxCli - VMHost $_

  $esxcli.system.syslog.config.get () | {{Select - ExpandProperty RemoteHost}},

  @{N = "Empty the collector"; E = {}

  $dump = $esxcli.system.coredump.network.get)

  {if($dump.NetworkServerIP)}

  "$($dump.NetworkServerIP):$($dump.NetworkServerPort)"} ".

  {{else {''}}}

• Enable Syslog with PowerCLI

  I'm trying to enable syslog through the ESXi 5 Firewall service and configure the info from the syslog server with a small script that strikes all hosts at any given time, but I can't seem to find the combination that will allow him to work. I am looking for is:

  Get-VMHost | Select name. Game-VMHostSysLogServer Server - SysLogServer: 514

  When I run told me that the requireed parameter - VMHost is missing. Is it possible to apply this setting to all hosts in a given vCenter? I also want to enable the firewall rules for syslog in a similar way.

  I wrote this one and it works without problems so far.  If you do not want to change $defaultrotate and $defaultrotaesize, and then change the following line to

  $esxclisetsyslog = $esxcli.system.syslog.config.set ($null $null, $null, $null, $loghost, $null)

  SE connect-VIServer-Server "vcenterserver" - user "xxx" - password "xxx".
  [long] $defaultrotate = 16
  [long] $defaultrotatesize = 10240
  $loghost = "xxxx".
  $esxhosts = get-VMHost
  {foreach ($esx to $esxhosts)
  $hview = get-View - ViewType "hostsystem" - filter @{"Name" = $esx. Name}

• archiving of newspapers on a partition from scratch

  Our hosts were initially put in place with a score of scratch, which was archived logs messages for about 1 hour. Our customer wanted more available logs, so my worker co them configured for their file size maximum, the value logging trivia, increased to keep 50 newspapers and updated to place pass and vpxa connects to the scratch partition. VCenter vpxd newspapers have also been implemented in a similar way on the vcenter server.

  My thoughts on this are

  -is it necessary to record the anecdotes for normal operations?

  -Message logs also set up in the same way as other newspapers?

  -What type of events are recorded in the hostd.log, messages, and vpxa.log?

  -Logging info is not necessary until the user observe any problems, otherwise, it will fill with very fast log space

  -check this command

  'recorder system syslog config esxcli list.

  game esxcli system syslog configuration recorder, it will give you to set the size etc.

  -In ESXi4 newspapers vmkernel carry messages, pass and vpxa will seize the save operation carried out by vSphere ESXi host. He needed because if the user hit any question, vm-support will seize these logs files

• Logging, vMA or Syslog server ESXi + Splunk?

  Hi guys,.

  I would like to know what is the best and the most used method for recording the events of ESXi? using vMA or (syslog server + splunk)?

  because I had a bad experience at the mysterious host restart ESXi and the journal of diagnosis seem to be continuous logging :-| (eg. only available for events after the system reboot) cmiiw.

  Kind regards

  AWT

  Select the host, and then go to Configuration > Softare > advanced settings.  Navigate to the bottom of the list in syslog and open.  The change takes effect immediately.

• vMA 4.1 config question

  So I'll put up my first camera of vMA that I just got on ESXi. I have gone through the release notes and configure authentication AD and joined the vMA to my domain and have added my vCenter and an ESXi host (we have 6 in total). Problem is when I try to set the target I get the message saying:

  the value of vifptarget | test.domain.local s
  -bash: s: command not found
  Error: Invalid Arguments

  Use: vifptarget < option >
  -bash: echo: write error: Broken pipe

  Also, I was able to connect to the SSH session vMA with my credentials of DA (domain administrators). Problem is it says I don't have permissions to do anything. I found a few articles on the edition may be the visudo, but I can't seem to get on that. Anyone has any ideas on these issues?

  Thank you.

  You use - set or s - but not both. The pipe | is an output redirection character that would be both orders betweeen and s is not a command.

• vMA and Syslog - estimates of the size

  I am currently working for a client with two large data centers; North and South. I need to send the ESXi host logs for a vMA in each data center and I need to know how much space available on the drive of the newspaper on every vMA.

  There are currently 14 guests in the center of the North and 16 in the South, but that could increase to a maximum of 8 per region. So the totals could get up to 22 Nothern, 24 South.

  I intend I do default logging type.

  There is probably a calculator of calibration somewhere but I have yet to find one. Any help would be appreciated.

  See you soon,.

  Paul

  An ESXi host, you can capture messages, hostd.log and vpxa.log.

  When you configure log capture you can configure maxfilesize (by default 5 MB) and numrotation (by default 5 files).  If you seek to 75 MB for each host.   For vCenter capture you vpxd.log so it will be 25 MB.

  As mentioned, it is a pretty easy thing to expand the storage space used by the vMA.

• Topology change syslog, how to disable messages?

  I have a number of switches BNT/Lenovo (8124, 8052, 8264) and all are connected to our central syslog server. I have quite a few switches in the same vlan, and I get a lot of topology messages of change like this:

  2016 03-11 T 05: 39:01.143556 - 07:00 Mar 11 05:39:07 switch-1 ALERT switch OS : STG 44, changing topology detected

  I don't necessarily need to see this. I would like to delete this message without Gohan other messages such as the STP root bridge changes. Is this possible? These seem to be my options from the side of the switch:

  I looked in the CLI guide for "journal of logging", but all I get is the following:

  [None] Journaling log []
  Displays a list of the features for which syslog messages can be generated. You
  can choose to turn on or off specific features (such as VLANs, stg, or ssh).
  or enable/disable syslog on all available functions.
  Control mode: global configuration

  There is no detail on the option does what exactly.

  I know that I probably can filter messages from syslog server-side but I would rather start the level for the switch.

  Thank you.

  Today, there is no way to delete these specific messages.

  They should not be too many and are often very useful to determine the cause of a failure.

  In order to reduce drastically the TCN BPDU is to put all the host ports such as 'edge' or 'portfast '.

  This setting prevent BPDUS and messages production when a host disconnect or connect to the switch.

  Then, only the 'real' TCN is recorded and useful for diagnosis.

  Ciao, Maurizio.

• EEM script to check running-config startup-config changes after reloading

  I'm trying to follow a bug that causes some CLIs to disappear from the running-config after you reload the router.

  The LCIs were saved in the startup-config before reloading the router.

  Is there an EEM to compare the running-config startup-config online with after reload of the router and syslog lines that are missing from the running-config?

  You could do something simple like:

  Event Manager applet config compare

  event timer cron cron-entry "@reboot".

  command action 1.0 cli 'enable '.

  cli 2.0 action command "show archive config diff nvram:startup - config system: running-config.

  post 3.0 action to "[email protected] / * /'from'[email protected] / * /" Server "10.1.1.1" topic "Config diffs" body "$_cli_result".

  The number of syslog 111008 and 111010 will record the command entered by the user.

  111010 concerns the configuration changes.

  Here is the syslog for your information:

  You must turn on syslog and level 5 severity, and if you do not want to see any other record, you can only connect the numbers of syslog 2 above.

• Impossible to get the specific features of cisco in LMS syslogs

  Hello

  It's about a problem that we face with our LMS 3.2.1. We cannot get specific cisco devices syslogs, while we are able to get the rest devices syslogs. one you suggest what would be the exact reason for this and the troubleshooting steps.

  Thanks in advance,

  Raja

  Hello

  The first thing I would say is to make sure that you have these devices configured to send the syslogs to that specific server. See config below:

  3725B - CR - NMS (config) #logging host?
  Host name or A.B.C.D IP address of the syslog server

  If that is already set up, please make sure that syslog messages are on the server. Create a message simple syslog and check the syslog.log file located in NMSROOT/CSCOpx/log to make sure it's written there. You can also run a capture of packages to confirm the foregoing. If you have this installed on Linux/Solaris, check the syslog_info file (/ var/log /).

  You can generate a test syslog as shown below:

  3725 B-CR-NEM #conf t
  Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
  3725B - CR - NMS (config) #exit
  B-CR-NMS 3725 #.
  * 03:35:42.613 13 Oct: % SYS-5-CONFIG_I: configured from console by admin on vty1 (192.168.10.197)

  NMSROOT is the LMS installation directory

  Let me know the results.

  Allen has.
