Recently, I worked with a customer where user login was taking too long. From looking at the logs(vmwvvp.txt) the cause of the issue was the high number of files in the users profile. So what drove me to write this blog you ask? There is an interesting logging module that helped me narrow down the issue, VMWLogLogonSupportMetrics. VMWLogLogonSupportMetrics is a module within Persona that tracks the following interesting metrics: Time taken to create/sync files to the local computer profile Number of files in the profile Number of folders in the profile Total size of the profile Large files Time taken to preload files before login can complete Is client side caching enabled Below is an example excerpt of VMWLogLogonSupportMetrics in the persona log, vmwvvp....
When the vRealize Desktop Agent starts up, it checks into the View Adapter in vRealize Operations. The View Adapter installed in vRealize Operations sends configuration data to the vRealize Desktop Agent when the agent starts up. This configuration is listed in the file, /usr/lib/vmware-vcops/user/plugins/inbound/V4V_adapter3/conf/agent-config.xml To change the poll interval change the following parameters: <configuration type="collector" version="1"> <interval>360</interval> <!-- Collector configuration for version 2 agents. --> <configuration type="collector" version="2"> <interval>360</interval> <polls\_per\_interval>1</polls\_per\_interval> <configuration type="collector" version="3"> <interval>360</interval> <polls\_per\_interval>1</polls\_per\_interval> In the v4v-agent log, the following messages would appear showing the collection interval and polls per interval...
To enable debug logging: Backup and edit the following file: /usr/local/av-manager/config/log4r.yml Change the following: standard\_debug\_dev: &standard\_debug\_dev <<: p="" standard=""> level: <%= !Rails.env.production? || DEBUG ?
