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

Scott

Hello

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

Well, as for me, everything is good, cause you specified have drop shot 3 times

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 isn't

*.log is current which is used for logging, *. log # is a file rotated

See you soon

  • VMware tools create too many temporary files on the server TS user profiles

    Hi guys,.

    I have problems with the TS and Citrix servers where we have a restriction very strick to profile normally around 30 MB sizes. Temporary files of VMware tools normally use 10-18MB and this affects many users when opening large spreadsheets and we have to keep manually delete the files.

    You guys can suggest alternatives here please? Hosts run ESXi 4.1

    Thank you!

    You can work around the problem by changing a value in this registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order\

    Workaround disables the functionality of VMware shared folders in the virtual machine.  Because the feature is not supported by ESX Server or GSX server, turn it off is not a problem. However, if you migrate the virtual machine to the workstation, you not have access to VMware files shared unless you re-enable the feature.

    Warning: This procedure is to modify the registry. Incorrect changes to the registry can leave your system unstable or cannot run. Always back up the registry before you edit it and be cautious to make changes to the registry. VMware assumes no responsibility for the problems that may arise.

    1. Access the Windows registry. Choose Start > run, and then type regedit. The window of the Registry Editor opens.
    2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order\.
    3. Click ProviderOrder , and then click change. In the edit string value dialog box, change the data value chain and remove the word hgfs (or vmhgs).
      • For example, if the string data value contains LanmanWorkstation hgfs (or LanmanWorkstation, vmhgs) , and then replace it by LanmanWorkstation.
      • If the value data string contains hgfs (or vmhgfs), then delete it and leave the value data string empty.
    4. Click OK.
    5. Close the registry editor. Choose file > output.
    6. Restart the virtual machine.

    If you want to re-enable the VMware shared folders feature, add , hgfs (or vmhgs)

    at the end of the value data string, or a whole chain hgfs ( or vmhgs)

    If it is empty.  Alternatively, you can reinstall VMware Tools, using the Complete

    option to re - activate the shared folders.

  • App problem creates too many handles, PC crashes, how do I know why and stop it?

    We have a problem application that creates too many handles (about 3000 every 2 seconds), but it does so only with certain PC which have a conexant onboard sound, how can I find more information about why the handles are consumed at such a pace? (winxpsp3, dell optiplex 390)
    Application uses a wrapper.exe and seems to use a lot of Flash/Shockwave/Java. (Range of software active Teach of Pearson).
    The handles of process SYSTEM seem to be created as the registry constantly queried for (relative to the sound card) non-existent registry keys.
    His conexant card drivers were installed as a local administrator, and update the BIOS & PC drivers not yet had effect.

    Once the number of handles starts to get in the Millions, the PC grinds to a stop/crashes(usually takes less than 30 mins!) coup!

    Any help, suggestions accepted with gratitude.
    Thank you very much

  • Why Firefox doesn't create so many temporary files in the cache? Once it filled all space (46GB)?

    Every now and then, Firefox will have created zillions of directories and the files cached in the directory for a Firefox profile. The directories are called 0 (zero) and F (using the hexagonal as numbers names, i.e.g), and within each of them will be more directories (with two names of hexadecimal digit). The last time this happened (2 weeks ago), these directories ate ALL my free space on the hard drive (about 46 GB of a value).

    Why does this happen? Can I stop it from happening? If so, how?

    Thank you.

    Yes, it should be easy reset.

    It can be put in

    • Options-> | Advanced | --> | Network | -> Web content caching
      Management of auto-cache to replace]
    • See #w cached web-contentweb-content-_cached

    Probably your auto adjustment has been replaced and the box should uncheck.

    I know that Firefox split cache up like this IIRC it allows faster cache and solves fragmentation issues.

    46GB which seems a surprising amount and cannot be good if he eats all the hard disk space. I also know that the file places.sqlite is a variable size, but it is based on the system in use.

    The regular HTTP cache is also defined without doubt intelligently, but can be replaced by the user
    This has some background info

    My own settings seen in everything: support are

    browser.cache.disk.capacity	358400
    browser.cache.disk.smart_size_cached_value	266240
    browser.cache.disk.smart_size.first_run	false
    

    My use of the cache is limited to about 350 MB

  • Why are there too many vmdk files?

    I use vmware workstation 8 to end of software testing. Both the guest and the host Windows 7 64 bit.

    I have 12 shots with the guest. I found that there are 283 files vmdk, which takes about 420 GB of disk space.

    Now, I deleted all of the snapshots, but there are still 259 files vmdk, who take 395 GB of disk space.

    As I deleted all of the snapshots, now the guest is just a pure installs Windows 7. It should take no more than 10 GB.
    Any suggestion?

    Thank you.

    Wow! The directory listing shows 281 snapshots that dose of course not jive with the dictionary of snapshot (file .vmsd) If you have a mess on your hands.

    Not completely sure that you are the ultimate goal here is however I suggest creating a new virtual hard disk using vmware-vdiskmanager pointing towards "w7 64 - 000281.vmdk" as source and then swap out.

    Also the list of directories being incomplete, it displays only the hard files, I can't you what else to clean the other then delete the file .vmsd if you choose to consolidate snapshots of the "w7 64.vmdk" file using vmware-vdiskmanager.

    Note: DON'T do anything without having a full and correct virtual machine backup before you continue!

  • too many audio files... AS3 don't worky

    I created this little program to test with.  , It works perfectly for audio files or equal to 5 / for loops.  As soon as I do more while the sounds stop functioning. Everything else is fine, just no sound. My plan is to have the xml file determin how much sound to create video clips with attached files. I intend to have a ton of video clips and audio files once it is finished.  No luck so far

    is there a limit to how much sound swf files can reference? Any other ideas why the sounds do not work for me?

    //load xml
    var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    var xmlData:XML = new XML(); 
    var xmlPath:String = "data.xml";
    xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(xmlPath));
    trace("loading xml from: " + xmlPath);
    xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
         
    function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
         trace("xml loading complete");
         xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
         //load objects
         buildScroller();
    }
    
    function buildScroller():void{
         var tl:MovieClip=this;
         for (var i:Number = 0; i < 5; i++){
    
            //create movie clips
            var container_mc:container = new container();
            addChild(container_mc);
            container_mc.x = 325 * i;  // set the number here to the width of the movie clip being repeated
            
            //sound info
            tl["snd"+i] = new Sound();        
            tl["snd"+i].load(new URLRequest(xmlData.sound.loc[i]));
            container_mc.snd = tl["snd"+i];
            container_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound, false, 0, true);
    
            function playSound(event:MouseEvent):void {
                event.currentTarget.snd.play();
            }
         }
    } 
    
    
    

    Here is the xml file that I use:

    <DATA>
        <object_count>20</object_count>
    
        <sound>
            <loc>fart.mp3</loc>
            <loc>burp.mp3</loc>
            <loc>creak128.mp3</loc>
            <loc>GateOpen.mp3</loc>
            <loc>bang.mp3</loc>
            <loc>pop.mp3</loc>
            <loc>slap.mp3</loc>
        </sound>
    </DATA> 
    
    

    >y at - there a limit to how much sound swf files can reference?

    N °

    First, remove the playSound function of inside the for loop and inside buildScroller. Nested functions are bad programming. In addition, why are you doing tl ["snd" + i] and not only container_mc ["snd" + i]? I don't know why you don't put them only in the container clips themselves if that's how you want to do.

  • iMovie creates too many Clips when you import

    Hello

    I'm importing old home movies and that you have run into an interesting question. When you connect an older Sony MiniDV camera via Firewire to my MacBook Pro, is to create an insane amount of individual clips - of different lengths (between one second and five seconds) - of the video that has no breaks in it. So a solid 10 minute clip (non-stop), I'll have nearly 100 small clips in iMovie.

    I actually changed computers - and cable - thinking that it could be a computer problem, but it always does. I am trying to determine where the problem is. I'm hoping to avoid importing video analog if possible.

    Does anyone have this problem before?

    Thank you!

    Rick...

    This problem came several times in discussions. No solution if I ever posted. Usually this is related to the time for questions on the code clip. Some people have reported success by importing to the Quicktime format and then transfer them to iMovie. You could try to import into Quicktime.

  • I can't install antivirus avast because the registry has too many temporary files and virus and spyware or malicious software. How can I fix it, manually or software?

    Computer is a 12, xps dell dimension 8800.Tried using disk cleanup and Defrag on the computer, but it could not remove a large number of temporary files. Still can not re - install the avast antivirus that was installed previously, done updates also.

    I suggest before you do anything. Type MSCONFIG in run in the start menu. Click the Startup tab, and then tap off everything. Restart the computer.

    You can clean your temporary files and other unnecessary files with CCleaner.
    http://www.Piriform.com/ccleaner/download

    If request you something to keep on the first run saved passwords from your browser then press no. On the first screen, click on run cleaner on the bottom right.

    If you believe in the detectability of Avast, you can try to install again. Or you can download and install the virus Kaspersky 2011 removal tool.

    http://www.Kaspersky.com/antivirus-removal-tool?form=1

    And spyware, you can install Spybot Search and destroy.

  • Too many corrupt files - no access to the right files

    Hello

    I had system update error and followed all the instructions how to fix and the installation of the update. Did not work. I managed to get the text from sfcdetails on my desktop, and when you look into it, I think it shows a lot of corrupted files that could not be repaired.

    First of all I'm not sure, I don't understand how to find the name of the file to search for, and second, I don't have any other computer where I could get a good copy.

    Where can I find good copies? They are available anywhere online? and how can I then install them me correct?

    Thanks for the info

    "Details of Sfc", which did not help much... Either open, prompt, cmd, type: Sfc/scannow Sfc once

    is thru, type: CHKDSK C: /F agree to restart, type: EXIT restart pc

    The Sfc repairs/fixes will work when restarting with CHKDSK, everything works auto, reboot the pc...

  • Download too many dependent files.

    In Dreamweaver CS5 and earlier, when I said 'yes' to download on my remote server receive files, it only downloaded a new file or changed. Now, if I say 'yes' it looks like all the files on my site and decides whether to download or not to transfer. It examines every file that is connected to the bar of navigation at the bottom of each page. I tried to let it load, unsynchronize my files and then synchronize them snack again the dates were wrong.

    It is new to Dreamweaver CS6 or can someone tell me how to configure it so it can be set to download dependent files, but it does seem that the new files or changed, like all earlier versions.

    I'm working on a Windows 7 64 bit computer.

    Thank you.

    Murray-

    Thanks for the reply. I used Dreamweaver because it was a baby with Macromedia, and this has never happened before. In CS6, it tried to download the whole site, not only the necessary files or the current page. I did correct the problem, see below.

    Joel-

    I solved the problem by downloading differently, I did with previous versions. I hope that what I wrote below helps.

    First I now checked both ask for get and put in the preferences. Now, if I declare that the dependent files must download, all (even those not newer than on the remote control) will download unless I press "Cancel". If I click on 'No to all', they always go through the process of trying to download as in the screenshot below. To prevent this, I have to say 'Yes' on the dependent files. say 'Yes' to those I want to downloaded would be files that are new or changed and then click 'Cancel' when it on demand for all other connected to this page, which included essentially all the files on my site since I was a navigation bar on each page. As I said, if I say 'No' or 'not at all', it will still go through all the files.

    Now, the above works for me perfectly even if it adds a few steps.

  • Too many flv files?

    Is there a limitation to Captivate and flv files? I have 10 flv files in a document of captivate. of which 5 are related to a point of departure through branching (which may be the cause of the problem?). In any case, my audio goes out when you view the version published after viewing 8 FLV files. The FLV 2 remaining is to show, but has no audio. Someone has an idea of what's going on here? I have version 2.0.0 build 1177. Thank you!

    I just wanted to keep someone interested in this update. Level 2 of Adobe support has been able to reproduce the problem I had. Now, he was sent to engineering to investigate it as a bug and possibly repaired. In the meantime, I was advised to keep the number of FLV files in my course of 9 or less.
