VM: vm-8.log-rotation-size

Information

Virtual machines must limit the size of diagnostic logs. Limiting the size of diagnostic logs on VMs prevents excessive space consumption, particularly on long-running VMs. As per VMware guidelines, the recommended minimum limit is 2MB.

Solution

Get-VM -Name $VM | Get-AdvancedSetting -Name log.rotateSize | Remove-AdvancedSetting
