  • 1.  VMWARE logs monitoring

    Posted Oct 07, 2020 08:15 AM
    Hi all

    I wanted to configure vmware log monitoring  

    is this possible via logmon probe since agnt can't be installed on vcentres so how would logmon access the vcentre logs?

    please suggest.

    Regards

    Have you tried using a mapped drive?

    Hello

    I suposse u have vmware probe installed but you need more information of specific events in log files

    Your vcenter is and appliance or a normal server ? Maybe u can use logmon from another server and access throught via share, another good option I think is to install if u can use Log Insight or configure vmware to send log files to somewhere like a NAS, and get it from  Nimsoft with sysloggtw probe

    Hi all

    Yes i have VMware probe installed but that is not capable to monitor ntp sync so i was thinking that would be present in the vcentre logs.

    i asked my windows team and they confirmed that ntp sync does not get updated in any logs so i need to think of new way.

    I did check the ntp_response probe but for some vcentre ip is not getting detected in ntp_response probe in our ntp server  maybe some port needs to be opened but nothing is mentioned ntp_response probe docs

    There is one kb article where they are saying to add the entry for host in etc.conf file in ntp server ,that is not feasible since the server team don't want to reboot the server as all apps in our environment will be impacted.

    If somebody could suggest how to make this work that would be great.

    regards
    nijin

    You cant directly monitor the ntp sync time using vmware probe ,do you want to monitor ntp sync on vcenter or esx hosts
