the common logging service is referenced as vmware syslog service

to view status from vsphere6.0 cli run

service-control --status vmware-syslog

or from the vsphere6.0 webui log in as administrator@vsphere.local & navigate to administration->deployment->system configuration->services

Hi,

We encountered the same issue recently.

Check this KB about log4j tunning : VMware KB: Heavy logging on the Platform Services Controller Appliance 6.0 causes /storage/log to fill up

Hi,

i had same problém with my vCenter Server Appliance 6.0,

how to fix it is here: http://tomaskalabis.com/wordpress/vmware-vcenter-common-logging-service-health-alarm/

Thanks all for resources but for me problem still exist.

I create separate thread for this vROPS 6.1.0 - alerts - object is not available for vCenter License Performance Charts Common Logging vAPI Endpoint service

But there i have problems with much more services...

Looks like this service "Common Logging Service" from time to time is not working.

I think this can be related with service: vmware-syslog-health

because when i edit this object Common Logging Service in vRops:

And bellow information about some repeated outage for service:

Some advice ?

Im looking for some log where can i see some problems with this service....

I have the same problem as yours, there are intermittent alarm "object is not available" that were active only less than a minute. This happened few times every hour.

Object name: VMware Server Health Service

@SebastianGrugel I also came across your other post you did set in on maintenance mode to disable logging. What are the impacts by enabling the maintenance mode?

I stop received alerts. But often after some times this problem back because somehow vROps created anopther monitoring agent and in vROPS.

Today we dont have this problem... if i giood remember we impelemnt some update.

I will ask my colleague in next week if you need.
