vmkernel.log format?

[hagf...@gmail.com]

Hello Tony!

Do you have a format for vmkernel log files? I know there's a vmware format statement in the default json but lnav is classifying vmkernel logs as generic_log. Timestamp sorting still works, but pulling out log levels and separation of cpuid, processid, etc, is all ignored.

Or... if you have one halfway done, I could *try* to keep it moving... but the last time I tried to handle one of these lnav formats I made a dog's dinner of the thing.

Thanks!
Chris

​The vmw_log format should match the VC log files.  I didn't have any vmkernel log files

handy to test out a format config.

​If you reply with some log files or just excerpts, I can try to come up with a format.

Thanks for your help, Tim!

I sent you an email with a vmkernel attached + some comments.

I checked in a first pass at the format if you want to try it out:
