Question
How to configure size and rotation interval for logs of Parallels Mac Management for SCCM?
Resolution
The following rules apply when specifying the limits:
- Log file size limit. The default value is 1 MB (specified in bytes). The minimum allowed value is 200 KB. The maximum allowed value is 4 MB. If a value is not set, the default value is used. If the specified value falls outside the min/max interval, the minimum or the maximum value is used respectively.
- Maximum number of files in a rotation set. The default value is 10. The minimum value is 1. The maximum value is 20. If a value is not set, the default value is used. If the specified value falls outside the min/max interval, the minimum or the maximum value is used respectively. On Windows computers the log rotation limits are stored in the system registry.
To modify the limits:
- Run "regedit" and search for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Parallels\Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft SCCM\Preferences;
- To set the log file size limit, modify the value of the "LogFileSizeLimit" parameter. The size is specified in bytes. If the value is missing, create it (DWORD).
- To set the maximum number of files in a rotation set, modify the value of the “MaxNumberOfSavedLogs” parameter. If the value is missing, create it (DWORD).
- Restart the service of the installed PMM component (e.g., pma_cm_proxy).
