We have the vMA version 4.1 in our environment and it is currently used for a log consolidation store for our vm servers. ** Note: This does not work with the version 5 vMA **
What are the commands to make it work?
- Log in to the vMA server using the vi-admin user
Using "vifp" to connect to the servers
type:
vifp addserver <FQDNserverName> --authpolicy fpauth --username root
- Check the status
vifp listservers -l
- Once you have the fastpass connection to the server you can set up the logger
type:
vilogger enable --server <FQDNserverName> --collectionperiod 10 --Numrotation 20 --Maxfilesize 5
then check the connection
type:
vilogger list
- and that is it
Now it stores the logs from each of the servers in /var/log/vmware/<Servername>
