Hi all Gurus,
I have tring to change the default log level in ESXi 4.1.0 version 348481.
I already read a lot off stuff about the subject, but unfortunately I cannot get this accomplished.
Steps:
- Read this http://virtirl.com/?p=56 and this http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1004795 .. etc ...
- Alter the configuration:
<log>
<!-- controls where rolling log files are stored -->
<directory>/var/log/vmware/</directory>
<!-- name of log file -->
<name>hostd</name>
<!-- controls whether logger sends its output to console also -->
<outputToConsole>false</outputToConsole>
<!-- If true, log to files on disk -->
<outputToFiles>true</outputToFiles>
<!-- default size(in bytes) of each log file before rolling over to next -->
<maxFileSize>524288</maxFileSize>
<!-- default number of log files to rotate amongst -->
<maxFileNum>8</maxFileNum>
<!-- default log level -->
<level>none</level>
<!-- If true, logs to syslog -->
<outputToSyslog>true</outputToSyslog>
<!-- syslog configuration. Only used if outputToSyslog is true. -->
<syslog>
<!-- syslog identifier to use when logging -->
<ident>Hostd</ident>
<!-- syslog facility to use when logging -->
<facility>local4</facility>
</syslog>
</log>
<!-- Log level configuration (Rules are applied in order) -->
<level id = "1">
<logName> PropertyProvider </logName>
<logLevel> info </logLevel>
<prefix> false </prefix>
</level>
<level id = "2">
<logName> SoapAdapter.HTTPService </logName>
<logLevel> info </logLevel>
<prefix> false </prefix>
</level>
- Restart the hostd
- reboot the physical host
But I keep getting the info level in the /var/log/messages
I 'am open to ideas, any one have a clue what maybe the problem in this ?
Regards
