VMware ESXi 5 host stops sending the syslogs to the remote server (Splunk)

We have recently installed a Splunk syslog server and our pointing devices are to him.   I noticed that when we stop/start the server (or service) the logs of all my ESXi 5 hosts stop coming in.

There seems to be a known problem

http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2003127

The next step 5 restart the newspaper that circulates.  But there is no way I want to log on to the console and run it whenever someone does something in Splunk that needs a reboot or the Windows box is restarted for patches.

I started writing a script bash (below), but discovered that ESXi has really not an area of cron as has ESX4 (not i).  If I brute force to create it on the host, it will come off with tasks.

# This checks if the syslog server is written on "SPLUNK" third-party syslog server

# It will restart the syslog service if she sees that he has ceased to

const = 'cannot write the journal. "

If [/var/log/.vmsyslogd.err - e]; then

/var/log/.vmsyslogd.err n 1 tail. grep "unable to write the log.

If [$? = 0]; then

echo '$const; Found in the LAST line, restart the syslog server.

FI

FI

"I was going to cron to run every 15 minutes and if he saw the last line in the log that was stopped 'impossible to write the journal' so I would like to add a '.esxcli system syslog reload " inplace of the echo line.

"I vCenter on a Windows machine and would like to run a scheduled task on all my hosts (perhaps a csv file) and then delivers."esxcli system syslog reload " if that is found.  I can't figure out how to do this, can anymore help me out?

I'd like to use what I have, I don't have a vMA or splunks VM either.


William Lam posted a script on how to do this on his blog site.  It is uses an alarm vCenter to alert in case of connectivity for the loghost is lost.

  • Stop and restart the virtual machines in the remote server

    I need to close virtual machines running guests 4 1 ESX from a remote server (IBM System i).

    The remote server in fact control the storage used by ESX and VM OS, so I'll have to scripts running on the remote server that:

    Stop the virtual machine

    Performs maintenance

    Reboot the virtual machine

    I tried to understand the big picture of the reading discussions here, but I'm still confused.

    VMA is to provide the best way for the virtual machines of withdrawal from a script running on a remote server?

    Scripts can I use SSH to connect to the vSphere environment to run scripts or issue the command?

    Thank you.

    vCLI (really its vSphere SDK for Perl), PowerCLI, VI Java, etc are all vSphere SDK to correct and they are a of the client-side bindings different scripts and programming languages which bind to the vSphere API. When I say 'API', I mean using one of these SDK is you use the vSphere API to perform the work.

    The SDK is initiated on the remote server, this can be windows, linux, etc as long as it supports one of these boxes to tools. In general, for admins, you will use either vCLI (vSphere SDK for Perl) that supports Linux and Windows, or if you are more windows-oriented, you can use PowerCLI.

    Documentation has been referenced in my first post, please take some time the documents because they provide much more detail on the use cases for each + a lot of examples with orders. Yet once, there no involved SSH if you use the vSphere API. As I told, vMA is a virtual appliance, you can download and start using if you do not want to install vCLI or PowerCLI on a remote system, this is assuming that you are comfortable in a Linux environment. If you're not, then I highly recommend using PowerCLI, who will need a remote server for Windows.

  • invoke VMScript unable to connect to the remote server

    I have two PCs, two win 7 x 64. PC1 has powercli 5.5 build 3142196 (5.5u2?) and the other who has now updated 6.0.0.7857 (last AFAIK) via VMware PowerCLI - 6.0.0 - 3205540.exe from the downloads section.

    The client when you run the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet on must actually be able to connect to the physical ESXi host on which the virtual computer runs on port 443. Are two clients on the same subnet, you have a firewall between the hosts and guests? Just try to open the ESXi host welcome page in a browser from these two clients, e.g. https://myesxihost.local/

  • SRM 5.5 - the remote server returned an error: (503) server unavailable, could not create SSL/TLS secure channel

    Design:

    2 vCenter VMs version 5.5 on new W2k12. x. related and the same use facilities key SSO (default installation)

    2 x fresh install of the SRM VMs version 5.5

    20 + hosts vSphere 5.5 with DR/HA configured and working. Two dvSwitches (one per site) configured with the groups of port / VLAN work

    Question:

    Installation goes well until I needed to activate the Plugin SRM in vCenter.  Plugin called "Plug-ins available" and I click on the link 'download and install '.

    I had two separate fouls on both servers vCenter, both with same errors if it is compatible.

    The request has been aborted: could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

    I guess that the two are linked and probably something with SSO.  Post installation on each server vCenter vCenter, at the level of the vCenter, I added the "Domain Admins" AD Group with all permissions and then properly connected and built the group with this set of credentials.

    Post edited by: ArrowSIVAC 2013-10-07 to provide more details and attachments

    Post edited by: ArrowSIVAC, this is related to the case of support for vmware 13384832210 This problem is solved.  Several pieces here. (1) vCenters were installed secretly with local account as own databases, and this is how I usually do things (2) MRS. servers were built as separate virtual machines, VMWare vs guides guess and documents in anticipation of your SRM installation on the same server as vCenter Documentation / Installer is not clarified that you MUST use domain for MRS accounts in the multiplayer linked site facilities and if you do not, the installation is completed without error, but resources will not work. Errors have for client plugin does not work. It was the symptom, the reason was that the SRM service did not work.  The service would not start and only an error in the Windows event log is 'vmware-dr stopped service' is because the connectivity issue of MRS to vCenter hosted the new SQL instance database SRM. The SRM database has been installed on the instance of vCenter server as vCenter database.  And just like the installation of default vCenter I chose localhost\administrator for database owner.  The database was filled with tables, but SRM has connectivity problems.   The fix for this was to add "domain\user" (called mine SRMAdmin and added as a member of domain admin), add this user in SQL in the list of database users and then promoted as the owner of SRM database and define the rights on DBO. This fixed the first issue. Second issue was that SRM installation set the DSN system identification information, but does not specify that they must also be domain based accounts.  The installation program is not not clear here and should only allow user domain\username when installing. After several attempts because of the root and installation methods different tried, how to get the installation complete and properly configure was to log on to the system AS the example domain account: domain\srmadmin = > Configuration System DSN by selecting "How should SQL Server verify the authenticity of the login ID?"  "with integrated Windows authentication', and then the installation of SRM to the"Enter Database user credentials"value"domain\srmadmin ".  Then and communication services to the vCenter SRM hosted DB database will work correctly. < See images attached benchmarks >

  • FTP adapter: Not picking not the file on the remote server

    Hello

    I use the FTP adapter to read the file from the remote server and file ra.xml - oc4j configured with good host, port, username and password.

    Once I have deployed my process, no instance of this process is created and remote directory entry file is not picked up.

    Please help on this issue. Thanks in advance.

    Just checking that you can send via ftp manually from the BPEL server.

    Looks like you can use the ra.xml - oc4j wrong file.

    Also in your BPEL project, take a look on the link partner FTP and see the JNDI location, it will look something like eis/Ftp/sample.

    This may be what you want to rename, generally good naming practices puts the server, for example Ftp/ist/FtpAdapter

    To make sure that you have configured the file ra.xml - correct oc4j we can check through the Manager of the company, even though Marc has specified the correct location.

    EM-> oc4j_soa-> Applications-> Drop down choice list autonomous resource adapters-> FtpAdapter-> connection Pools

    Select the JNDI name, you indicated in your BPEL process, if there is no create a.

    Create connections as needed.

    Also a hint is to start with the base directory, for example when you connect by ftp manually, it will be where you load the files. In your configuration / (oc4j - RA.Xml) is the place of departure and / is the physical or logical path. Download this work so that you know that you have the right connection. Then start working on the location of the directory.

    see you soon

  • What are the network requirements for the remote server of the Panel?

    What are the network requirements for the remote server of the Panel?

    I tried for awhile now to set up a Control Board.  I can connect to my remote panel of computers from other computers on my local network but nowhere else.

    Whenever I use web publishing tool gives me a URL in this format: Http://Computer-Name.Corporate-Name.local:8086 / VI - nom.html apparently it means I have a local DNS server and this URL is meaningless to the public.

    "Connection refused by the server remote control specified: make sure that the LabVIEW Web server is enabled on the specified server.

    I got the same error when I tried to host a remote panel from my laptop at home, on my Wi - Fi.  Is there some network settings or firewall I'm not seting?  Would it be my server or the router or the private network?

    My goal is to be able to host remote panels of my laptop while I'm on the international scene, creating using 4 G internet mobile.  Is it still feasible?

    En to encrypt traffic must match the access list, and it must match the list of access on the other side.

    The easiest would be to ask the person manageing the router on the other side to send you the configuration, otherwise it's just a guess how this access list must be configured.

    CSS style sheet appears on the remote server when I download my Web site, but it works very well to the local server, if anyone can help I would be grateful.

    There are major problems with this page as shown in the screenshot below.

    This is caused by a liberal hijacking of APDivs (aka layers) for a main page layout.  This isn't what APDivs were intended.  That's why Adobe them removed from DW.  Unfortunately, not soon enough.

    I think you're the best option is to start over with a pre-built CSS layout that doesn't contain positioned elements.

    Either way, Flash is dead now.  Most of the people cannot display Flash media more.  You can convert the HTML5 video or use YouTube to host videos now.

    Is not more or less the same question you asked in {message identifier: = 10835497}?

    You must have a user to the remote database and an entry for the remote database in your tnsnames.ora file

    If you have just to coil of database of remote and local database didn't need to be involved:
    Edit your tnsnames.ora and add an entry with the remotedb, the information and you need to have the following information:

    Ip address or the name of the server (BAMDB001?)
    Name of the service (?)
    Port configured for this database. (??)

    Also, you must be sure that the connectivity of your local computer to a remote server is granted (without firewall block).
    Only when you have this information, you can connect to the remote database from your laptop.

    From the Unix server where you connect to the database, you can get the information to be inserted in your local tnsnames.ora by typing:

    tnsping dbname
    

    Of course, you need to replace dbname with the name of your database.
    Another way is to check the remote tnsnames.ora when logged in Unix:

    cat $ORACLE_HOME\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
    

    and check the configuration it.

  • Configure the remote server and test

    I use Dreamweaver CS 6 to create a test web site and to set up the remote and testing server.

    Your information and your help is much appreciated,

    Kind regards

    iccsi,

    Iccsi,

    Yes. Host name to the title of "Test Server" is the hostname of the server test - in your case, since you're using CF, it must be the path in which CF works. It will be localhost:8888 or something similar - depending on what port you have configured for the webroot when installing CF. you could check in CF dashboard. Or, you could start CF server, open your browser, enter localhost. If the loading of the page Web of the CF by default, it's just localhost. If this isn't the case, add the port number.

    The remote server is your real Web server. It may be http://www.somesite.com or if you run it in a separate folder within your main site, it will be http://www.somesite.com/test - depends on you want to download the files of remote work.

    The complete directory under local configuration is the place where your files are located on your local system. Still, if you use CF, you can thus use CF webroot to create / store files - this way, you don't have to make copies of files in 2 places since that you configure the same folder as your test server too.

  • Channel disconnected error with the remote server

    I created the Mobile Flex and PHP project that works very well with a local server (MAMP on Mac). Basically, it reads the data to get MySQL and displays the map Google. Now, I'm moving from a local server to a remote server.

    But when I run my application on emulater, I get the error "channel disconnected - disconnected prior to receipt of the acknowledgement of receipt."

    I Googled what this error is and found a web site that described on this error. According to the web site, the error is probably due to a PHP syntax error and use Network Monitor to debug it.

    However, the problem is that after I activated the network monitor and run my application on the emulator, nothing appears on the monitor network. My first question is if I should use Network Monitor to debug this error of channel disconnectef? The second question is negative, how can I debug this error? Any help would be appreciated.
