Vmware vCenter – Common Logging Service Health Alarm
Thats means that:
- Service Common Logging Service (VMware-syslog) is stopped (not my case)
- on /storage/logs is out of space
First of all, you need verify, free space on /storage/log. So run SSH service on your vCenter and use putty to log on in via root account.
shell.set --enabled true shell
enable shell
with df -h command verify, which disc has a capacity problems – /storage /log – we see that it is used on 88%, so we will increase it.
We will use the vSphere Client or vSphere Web Client and increase capacity on the virtual disk 5 for 10 GB.
vpxd_servicecfg storage lvm autogrow
Returning back to the SSH console and run the above command – he has the task to scan disks, and if necessary increase of the capacity available. If the operation succeeded, we should see the message „VC_CFG_RESULT = 0“
We have increased. now is used only 44% of capacity..

How do you know it was virtual disk 5? My shell output shows 4 disks that have the same size so which one do I pick? How can I know which disk is mapped to /storage/log?
Hi, in my 3 cases (3 different customers) was log disk mapped as 5VDMK (VCSA 6.0). check this table :
