looks the reason for this was I was doing some periodic ssh into the box to check on zpool status and also find out iostats.  and the file /var/adm/wtmpx was filling up. I added the following to emp syslocal start.

[ -f ${pre}/var/adm/wtmpx -a ! -s /var/adm/wtmpx ] || {
  cat /var/adm/wtmpx >> ${pre}/var/adm/wtmpx && >| /var/adm/wtmpx
  chmod 644 ${pre}/var/adm/wtmpx
  chown root:sys ${pre}/var/adm/wtmpx
}


I think this will work. just posted here so you can add it to your src tree.

Hi Vajonam,

That should not be needed unless you are more than 2 versions behind vs release. Check if .exec and /usr/bin/emp has sys_local function. If it does emp sys_local start maps /var to your zpool.

Ran into some version confirmation issues last nite but I aim to have you a new version tonite or by latest weekend.

I am on the latest release as far as I know.

also  the local_logs (start) doesn't include the /var/adm folder.. 

### local logs
local_logs() {

local_chk

What else in /var/adm besides /var/adm/messages are you logging? Custom? It should probably be pointed to /var/log?

I'll have to double check. I can't remember why I didn't do /var/adm but I think there is a challenging move item involved.

No that’s the only thing. Because I do a ssh in every minute to monitor system health it adds an entry into /vat/adm/wtmpx 

2 options that work are

One is to add the entry into logadm and rotate it. 
Cleanup in a cron and reset 

Event after pointing it over the /usr/local similar to message it still lives in /var. So only two things that seem to work for are the above methods. 

On a related note how can I monitor the system remotely ? I use glances which is python based on my Linux boxes.

Hi Vajonam,

I've uploaded a Openindiana Hipster 2016 and a OmniOS 2017 image. They should both work with the latest 2019Q3 pkgsrc image. The bootstrap just has to be manually onboarded using wget. I will test a release with a current OmniOS CE version if I get some time. Hope one of the uploaded images brings you some reliable rock solid storage. :)
make sure the following have been run:
1 emp syslocal start
2 emp pkgsrc start

cd /tmp
cd /
xt /tmp/bootstrap-2019Q3-x86_64.tar.gz

Best regards,
0xdre'

Dre,

Not sure where you have uploaded. Checked both the downloads on the site and under the blog. Sorry where should I be looking? 

Thanks

Maybe copy, paste and modify this block to do the same for wtmpx?
#set +o noclobber # enable overwrite
[ -f ${pre}/var/adm/messages -a ! -s /var/adm/messages ] || {
  cat /var/adm/messages >> ${pre}/var/adm/messages && >| /var/adm/messages
  chmod 644 ${pre}/var/adm/messages
  chown root:sys ${pre}/var/adm/messages
}

Did that. No dice. It still fills up /var/adm  right now. I just clean up on a cron every hour.

added  to emp

rm -rf /var/adm/wtmpx && (cd /var/adm && ln -s ../..${pre}/var/adm/wtmpx .)

added to logadm.conf

/usr/local/var/adm/wtmpx -C 1 -c -s 100k

so that will be rotated at 100kb .. really that is lots of logins for normal folks.
