VCSA Log Bundle Size

[Soap01]

I was attempting to pull a support bundle from my vcsa w/embedded pcs and the file is about 21GB in size. This seems pretty extreme to me but wanted to see what people thought? At that size I can't even successfully uploaded it to support. Running the latest 6.x build with about 200 hosts and 4200 virtual machines.

Did you ever get a response to this? I'm running into the same issue. One vCenter log bundle is ~4.5GB, the other is ~18GB and only has 12 hosts and about 200 VMs. .

Check if the following KB helps you reduce the size:

Hey @Soap01 ,

To reduce the size of the log bundle, can you remove all of the core dumps in the /var/core directory in SSH session to the vCenter. These are making the log bundle quite large.
