I've just implemented three great scripts on our ESX servers. They are....
SnapHunter - this sends an email daily reporting on sizes of snapshots, what VM's have snapshots etc
ESX Health Script - general log information, patch level etc
VMFS disk space - current free space, total vmfs size etc
All these scripts are fantastic!!
From my understanding of the SnapHunter script - the log file is deleted at the end of the scipt after emailing it?
And for the vmfs disk space script - this is just a log file that is overwritten and the contents is the message body for the email?
As for the ESX Health Check script - the html report is kept at /var/log/esx_healthcheck.........html - these aren't deleted....
How do you manage this? Do you have a script that deletes these html reports weekly? Do you only run your esx health check monthly?? - If this is not managed.... the free space can easily be reduced due to not managing these reports.
Any input would be great
