The ramdisk "vsantraces" is full

[alainrussell]

Is there a fix for this error? I can see it mentioned in a few articles, but can't see a fix anywhere.

The ramdisk "vsantraces" is full ..

I've enabled alerts in Log Insight and am a bit tired of receiving the alert over email (example below) but would prefer to not just disable the alert.

Log Insight just found the following 1 group matching the criteria for alert "*** CRITICAL *** ESX/ESXi: RAM disk / inode table is full":

Thanks

No fix yet unfortunately - you just have to clean out the old logs manually to free up space.

A complete fix will be included in an upcoming patch.

Ok, thanks

Really?  I opened an SR on a related issue and they did not mention anything about a patch (and of course closed the SR).

Any idea who the patch will be released, we still see this error regularly. Thanks.

Which logs can be parsed? There are multiple vSAN trace log files -
