Delete logs Vsphere-Client

[DiegoRuggi]

Good morning, I'm new to the community. How are you.

I have the following concern and I hope you help me.

I have the / storage / log / vmware / vsphere-client full.

And I wanted to know that if doing a rm vsphere-client-gc. * And rm wrapper.log. * It would be fixed and it would not break anything

In many cases they make me enlarge the disk size of the storage, but for me it is not a solution.


Thank you very much!!

You can delete all those *.hprof files as they represent Java dumps from crashes. That'll take care of the bulk of your used space.

Thank you very much for the quick answer.
I am new to linux and how do I delete only the files that have the ..hprof extension in the destination folder.

[daphnissov]

From inside the vsphere-client directory:

rm -rf *.hprof

Thank you very much, it worked perfectly.

query, would you have to restore some service after deletion?

Usually not, but that depends on if these files caused other services to halt. If you're able, you may just want to do a reboot of the appliance to jog everything back in motion. If not, you can start individual services if they're stopped using the service-control tool.
