Hey there,
so i'm troubleshooting something in the vmkernel log on my laptop with ESXi 6.7 U2. But the vmkernel.log is getting spammed with:
2019-05-24T22:23:40.081Z cpu1:2099203)WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 1
2019-05-24T22:23:40.081Z cpu0:2097176)WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 0
2019-05-24T22:23:40.081Z cpu2:2097676)WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 2
2019-05-24T22:23:40.081Z cpu3:2097267)WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 3
2019-05-24T22:23:40.081Z cpu6:2098606)WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 6
2019-05-24T22:23:40.081Z cpu7:2097188)WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 7
2019-05-24T22:23:40.081Z cpu5:2097688)WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 5
2019-05-24T22:23:40.081Z cpu4:2097584)WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 4
messages... Therefore i wanted to use the logfilter to get this spam out of the way (as i don't know any other way to disable those messages)
in /etc/vmware/logfilters i added the following lines with vi at the end:
0 | vmkernel | WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 0
0 | vmkernel | WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 1
0 | vmkernel | WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 2
0 | vmkernel | WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 3
0 | vmkernel | WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 4
0 | vmkernel | WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 5
0 | vmkernel | WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 6
0 | vmkernel | WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 7
0 | vmkernel | WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 8
0 | vmkernel | WARNING: APIC: 898: Thermal interrupt on pcpu 9
then i added
enable_logfilters = true
in my /etc/vmsyslog.conf
and finally used esxcli system syslog reload
but my vmkernel still is getting full of those messages.
Going trough examples the ":" isn't a problem in the Reg Expression and since i added all pcpu numbers shouldn't it be enough?
