Location of VMware View log files (1027744)

When you install these products, the installation log is created at %TEMP%\vminst.log_date_timestamp:

• Connection Server
• View Transfer Server
• Security Server
• View Agent
• View Client
• View Composer

In addition, an MSI installation log is created at %TEMP%\vmmsi.log_date_timestamp.

Connection Server, Transfer Server, and Security Server logs

The Connection Server, Security Server, and Replica Server logs reside on the servers themselves.

In the View Connection Server or Security Server host, you can find the log files in one of these locations:

• Windows 2003
  • %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VDM\logs
  • DriveLetter:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VDM\logs
    
    
• Windows 2008
  • DriveLetter:ProgramData\VMware\VDM\logs

Connection Server Backups

You can find the Connection Server backups at one of these locations in the View Connection Server:

• %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VDM\backups
• DriveLetter:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VDM\backups

View Agent logs

The location of View Agent log files depends on the version of Windows operating system used.

View Agent log files are found in:

• Windows XP:
  
  DriveLetter:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VDM\logs
  
  
• Windows Vista and Windows 7:
  
  DriveLetter:\ProgramData\VMware\VDM\logs

Note: If you have a User Data Disk (UDD), the profiles directory may redirect the log files to the UDD. In this case, substitute the DriveLetterwith the UDD.

PCoIP logs

The virtual desktop PCOIP logs are called pcoip_agent*.log and pcoip_server*.log and they are located in the same location as the agent logs on the view desktop. 

The client PCoIP logs are called pcoip_client*.txt and are located in the user's %temp% directory on Windows Clients.

Note: The PCOIP logs are also gathered in the Client and Agent log bundles.

Persona Management logs

Persona Management logging is managed through the View Persona Management ADM Template. By default, logging is disabled.

To enable Persona Management logging, see View Persona Management Group Policy Settings in the .

The default location of the Persona Management log is:

• Windows XP: C:\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VDM\logs\VMWVvp.txt
• Windows 7: C:\ProgramData\VMware\VDM\logs\VMWVvp.txt

View Client and View Client with local mode logs

View Client logs for local mode operations are located on the file system of the operating system in which the VMware View Client is installed. The location of the log files depends on the version of Windows operating system used.

The location of View Client log files:

• Windows XP:
  
  C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\VMware\VDM\Logs\

• Linux client:
  
  
  • MKS log: /tmp/vmware-username
  • PCoIP log: /tmp/teradici-username
  
  
• The Linux client log collector is located at:
  
  /usr/bin/vmware-view-log-collector
  
  
• Macintosh Clients do not have a script to collect the logs.
  
  You must manually collect these files for diagnostic and troubleshooting purposes:
  
  
  • ~/Library/Logs/VMware View Client.log
  • ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.microsoft.rdc.plist
  • ~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.rdc.plist
  
  Where ~ indicates the name of the user logged into the Macintosh Client.

QuickPrep/Sysprep Script and Composer Customization logs

The View Composer Guest Agent log contains information about QuickPrep and Sysprep script execution. This log records the start and end time of script execution and contains output or error messages. The View Composer Guest Agent log is located in the Windows Temp directory on the linked clone desktop at:

%system_drive%\Windows\Temp\vmware-viewcomposer-ga-new.log

Logging parameters

To change the rotation, the number of log files kept, and the maximum file size parameter, you must change this registry key (this is in view servers and desktops):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Log]

Note: Before making any registry modifications, ensure that you have a current and valid backup of the registry. For more information on backing up and restoring the registry, see the Microsoft article .

This table outlines the necessary changes:

Description	Key	Value Type	Value
Number of days logs are kept	MaxDaysKept	REG_DWORD	Integer value
Number of debug logs kept	MaxDebugLogs	REG_DWORD	Integer value
Max size (MB) of a debug log	MaxDebugLogSizeMB	REG_DWORD	Integer value

Notes:

• By default, DWORD values are hexadecimal. Change this to decimal so that the data value is read in plain English.
• Some keys may not already be defined by default. If undefined, the default values are:
  
  • MaxDebugLogs: 10
  • MaxDebugLogSizeMB: 50. If you increase the MaxDebugLogSizeMB, you may need an advanced text editor to handle the file size.

Note: You can also change the logging parameters by using the View Common Configuration ADM Template. This contains policy settings common to all View components. For more information, see  in the VMware View 5.1 Documentation Center.
