==== Logging ==== | |||
It is recommended to compress and increase the maximum log file size by modifying the configuration files in the <code>/etc/logrotate.d</code> directory and the <code>/etc/logrotate.conf</code> file. | |||
For example, changing vmkwarning to be 2096k in size, and compressed... | |||
[root@dtcp-esxsvce01b root]# more /etc/logrotate.d/vmkwarning | |||
/var/log/vmkwarning{ | |||
create 0600 root root | |||
missingok | |||
compress | |||
sharedscripts | |||
postrotate | |||
size 2096k | |||
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true | |||
endscript | |||
} | |||
...and changing relevent part of <code>/etc/logrotate.conf</code> to allow compression... | |||
... | |||
# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed | |||
compress | |||
... | |||
Finally, its worth redirecting sudo log activity to <code>/var/log/sudolog</code>, see above section on sudo. | |||
==== Banners ==== | |||
There are three modes of direct management access to an ESX, web, ssh, and direct (local) console. | |||
===== Web Access ===== | |||
Edit the html page <code>/usr/lib/vmware/hostd/docroot/index.html</code> | |||
===== SSH ===== | |||
Edit the <code>/etc/ssh/sshd_config</code> file so that it knows to display a defined banner file during login... | |||
Banner /etc/banner | |||
Create the banner file with the appropriate contents. | |||
===== Console ===== | |||
Prepend your banner to the <code>/etc/issue</code> file | |||
