Hi,
Is there any way of changing all logs to WARNING level instead of the VERBOSE. I have tried advanced software configuration and it did not work.
So I tried the following,
http://www.getshifting.com/wiki/syslogesxi#hostd
This worked fine for most logs. However, the vmkernel messages are still set as default logging level - verbose??. I would like to know if there anyway of filtering this before sending it to the syslog server. Our syslog server is "so" overloaded with messages that it defeats the purpose.
Was/Is there esxcli kernelog cmd such as,
esxcli system kernellog setlevel --level
Following are some information from our server.
/etc/vmsyslog.conf.d # esxcli system syslog config get
