how to display more events/tasks?

[Masl]

Hello,

is there any chance to display more tasks/events in vCenter Server?

Even if I chose to display only host events then oldest event/task is hardly 24h old...

Thank you and best regards,

Masl

I just Googled this because I also want to apply it, and your post came out on the first result.

Edit settings on the client, select the lists tab.

select the page size (number of rows you want).  I think the default is 100.  Not sure how big you want it.. I have set it to 2000 and it still worked..

Exactly!

Only that it works up to 1000 (in 4.0 U1 at least).

The default is 100 as you well said.

I understand limits.. but it would be nice to see an archive for the ENTIRE list (may be a need to reference from time to time..).

if there are things going on, like a maintenance for a server, it's 2 per entry, one for the migration, and one for the message, if you have 200 VM's that is half the log right there.. It would be nice to maybe extend this list

I TOTALLY agree.
