You can deal with the log throttling of a virtual machine.
By default, virtual machine logs monitor the logging rate. If the logging rate exceeds an established rate, logging will be throttled (logging will be suspended for a time before resuming). This prevents problematic logging from consuming all of the available log file storage space.
Virtual machine log throttle is identified by the presence of << file Throttled>> in virtual machine log files.
The virtual machine log throttling rate is controlled by the vmx.log.throttleBytesPerSec
property.
This setting may be set on an individual virtual machine basis or for all virtual machines on an ESXi host.
- To disable virtual machine log throttling, edit /etc/vmware/config.
- If the
vmx.log.throttleBytesPerSec
property is not defined in the file, add it.For example:
vmx.log.thottleBytesPerSec = "-1"
