Category: guestd Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: homebrew (barry-davis) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: vmtoolsd logs fill drive Initial Comment: If left long enough vmtoolsd will fill the filesystem with its logs. I'm running on a ramdisk and have 64M set aside for logs. After leaving it for a few days with debug turned on it fills this. Is there a way of getting vmtoolsd to rotate its log? I assume its not compatible with 'logrotate' as it dies when sent a HUP. /root# cat /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf [logging] vmsvc.handler=file vmsvc.level=debug vmsvc.data=/var/log/vmware-vmsvc.log vmusr.handler=file vmusr.level=debug vmusr.data=/var/log/vmware-vmsvc.log.user log=true level=debug [vmsvc] disable-tools-version=true ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Marcelo Vanzin (mvanzin) Date: 2009-06-29 10:29 Message: vmtoolsd doesn't rotate logs yet; we only recommend enabling logs if you're actually trying to debug something or send data back to us so we can debug it. You can reduce the log spew by using a higher level (such as "warning") instead of "debug". At some point I'll look at adding log rotation (might also look at logrotate, thanks for the tip, although I don't think that helps us much with the Windows side of things), but don't hold your breath... :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=989708&aid=2814131&group_id=204462 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ open-vm-tools-devel mailing list open-vm-tools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-vm-tools-devel
