Package: open-vm-tools
Version: 2:8.4.2+2011.08.21-471295-1
Severity: normal
Every 30 seconds I am getting two log entries written to syslog:
vmsvc[712]: [ warning] [guestinfo] Failed to get nic info.
vmsvc[712]: [ warning] [guestinfo] Failed to get vmstats.
This makes the /var/log/syslog file grow unnecessarily and tools like
logcheck end up spamming me about the messages.
Apparently the 'nic info' message is produced if open-vm-tools is compiled
using --without-dnet and the 'vmstats' message is produced if open-vm-tools
is compiled using --without-procps.
I can turn these messages off by adding the following to the
/etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf file:
[logging]
vmsvc.level=error
However that would turn off all other warnings so probably isn't a good
default to have.
Possible solutions I can think of to fix this are:
- Demote the message levels for these two messages from warning to debug.
- Link against the appropriate libraries.
Although for amd64 there seems to be specific check to turn off libproc
linking that might be there for a good reason?
I'm sure you can probably think of others.
