• Is it safe to delete the log file in/private/var/log/vnetlib?

  [Fusion 4.1.2 / Lion 10.7.4]

  My vnetlib log file is greater than 22 MB in size and has > K 250 lines of entries dating back to September 2011. Is it safe to delete this log file? A planning at startup, remove the file and then do a restart immediately after to restart VMWare network components - and we hope to recreate a new empty file. I tried erasing the contents of the file via the Terminal but do not have sufficient permissions, even with sudo - guess it was because the VMWare networking processes running at the time.

  Thank you

  If you do not experience network problems, then it is safe to delete.

  I had no problem to remove in a Terminal (while VMware Fusion is running) by using the following command in (although I would recommend VMware Fusion of closing first and it doesn't have to be done in safe mode).

  sudo rm -f /var/log/vnetlib
  

  Just curious, what the big problem is why you want to delete, 22 MB is not that big a deal.

  Hi Aurelius,

  If the newspapers of cleaning did not help them (which I expect to). You can run in a known defect, this problem occurs because as the access_log does not turn properly after we reach the limit of size.

  The Cisco default is #.

  CSCti86040 - Access_log not turning or delete when erasing logs on DMM

  This default is set in point 5.2.2 release of code, but you can open a TAC case and we can remove the access_log journal and apply the workaround for the same thing.

• / var/log - safe to delete files

  Hi all

  On 1 of my hosts ESX file/var/log has grown to the point its me cause problems creating VM etc... look at the files in this folder are large size particularly sercure.1 and secure.2 (more than 200 MB) my question is, is - it safe to delete these files? I have also a lot of vmkernel.* is also safe to empty these files?

  Thank you

  The files that you see with le.1,.2,... extensions are newspapers archived resulting from the rotation of log files. Log files are usually shot based on their size, or when a host or VM is powered. You can remove these log files rotated if you want to free up disk space. I do not recommend you delete the files '.log', because they are usually the current criteria (except for virtual machine logs).

  However, if the log files have this size, there must be a reason for this. I would recommend that you first take a peek in log files to see if there is an issue that must be resolved before you delete.

• / var/log is full. Best practices?

  One of the score of the newspaper of our host is 100% full. I'm not the practice administrator for this host, but manage/deploy the virtual machines it for others to use.

  I was wondering what's the best practice to deal with a more complete log partition? I found an article that mentioned editing the file /etc/logrotate.d/vmkernel/ so that files

  be compressed more often and saved for less often, but there was no real clear instructions on what to change and how.

  Is the only way to investigate on the console itself or the directory/var/log via putty? No there is no way to see VIC?

  Thank you

  Hello

  To solve the immediate problem, I would transfer to any newspaper in/var/log with a number at the end is dire.1,.2, etc. to a temporary storage outside the ESX host location. You could run something similar to the following command of the scp to do:

  scp /var/log/*.[0-9]* /var/log/*/*.[0-9]* host:TemporaryDir
  

  Or you can use winscp to transfer of the ESX host in a windows box. A you get the files from existing logs from the system for later playback, use the following to clear the space:

  cd /var/log; rm *.[0-9]* */*.[0-9]*
  

  I would therefore consist logrotation thus directed by hardening for VMware ESX.

• 5.2 Server postfix logging is more to /var/log/mail.log

  I would like to know if anyone else has this problem?

  After update macOS Sierra and Server 5.2, I get no message Postfix in /var/log/mail.log (aka SMTP Log).  I've never had a problem to see messages from postfix here before.  I defining all postfix mail log "info".

  I do not process messages greylisting Policy logging /var/log/mail.log.  Thus, the file seems to work in general.  But, no tricks postfix.

  Does anyone else have this problem?

  Same here, tried changing in debugging without result. Tried to change with the Terminal using serveradmin settings messaging or (I know you shouldn't do) editing the main.cf, also changed the com.apple.mail in the directory/etc/asl of notices info or debug nada!

  so, if anyone finds the solution? Please share

  Installation of vRA succeeded him, but there is no ' / var/log/apache2 / * "vRA device." So I can't check if the apache is working properly. Everyone sees this directory?

  Apache is more used than the reverse proxy (we now use HAProxy), that the document should be updated.

• At all times the value/var/log/messages * mode 644

  What process constantly changes/var/log/messages * mode back to the 640? I want to disable that. Thank you.

  I'd guess logrotate.  Have you checked /etc/logrotate.d/syslog?  It does not specify a particular permission?

  If not specified, logrotate should retain the existing file permissions.

• mpt2sas posts in /var/log/vmkernel.log?

  Hi I just noticed all four of my HP DL380 G8 ESXi hosts 5 are tons of these messages in the/var/log/vmkernel log.  All LUNS seems to be showing / work very well, but you wonder what the messages mean?  The hosts are connected to a HP P2000 G3 via direct SAS controllers.  Any ideas?  Thank you

• /var/log/boot.gz

  I guess that this file is created at startup and then gzip'd for archival purposes.

  So, question:

  -Is this file crashed every time you start it gets archived/moved/saved for historical reference, or is it just added/joint at each start-up phase?

  THX.

  I did two reboots of a 5.1 ESXi host and the boot.gz was that 30506 bytes in the first case and after the second reboot 30416 bytes. A large amount of new lines has been added, but the size was still a few bytes less. This strongly tells me that the file is overwritten each time you start. (Server on a persistent storage as well).

  You could read the file with zcat /var/log/boot.gz | more.

• What is the difference between vmware.log vmware - 1.log, vmware - 2.log... Why are there different logs created

  Experts of HI, need some advice what is the difference between vmware.log vmware - 1.log, vmware - 2.log... Why are there different logs created. I understand the vmware.log is to check when the VM not suite or something, but not sure the rest feed files. Thank you

  Log files are rotated once a virtual computer is turned on or when the file reaches a certain size. The vmware.log (without number) is the current log file. By default, the old files are kept for purposes of troubleshooting. You can - even if I do not - recommend disable this behavior, or even configure the virtual machine to do not create the log files at all.

• Calculation of log base 2 of 35 s new

  I would like to calculate the necessary resolution for an ADC with analog input will accept a +/-10V swing with a background noise of 0.4mV. The counties of RMS are 20.0V/0.0004V = 50 000 points - just easy. To set the 50 000 RMS number of bits is: bits = log2 (50,000). How can I make my new imagination 35 s to calculate log base 2 of 50 000? Help is appreciated - thanks.

  Hello

  To calculate LOG2(A) use LOG (A) / log (2) or LN (A) /LN (2).

  Here is a program to do this (run in RPN mode):

  

  To use, type number and XEQ, then, ENTERED.

• Series R FPGA, calculate log base 10 number &gt; = 1

  Hi all

  I'm stuck on a problem with the calculation of a log base 10 of a number greater than 1.  It seems that natural logarithm in the high throughput math library is limited to the range of 1/1.  There must be others who need to work outside this range - how do we?

  Thank you

  George

  Hey gharris,.

  The only way I know to do this is through lookup tables.

  You want to probably use BlockRAM and use VI initialization, as described here. You also have a table of logarithms, which covers the range that you expect to encounter. For values outside of your table, you'll need to interpolate.

  To get this right for your application may take a bit of tweaking, especially if you have a tight deadline or a need for high precision.
