We are running HP hosts and have ran into the scenario described in VMware KB 1033921 where we get frequent CIM messages that can be safely ignored. We do NOT want to disable CIM as we DO desire the status monitors.
I tripped over a setting in the config.xml file
<!-- The log level at which to output vmomi tracing -->
<traceAt> verbose </traceAt>
When I changed it to
<traceAt> warning </traceAt>
Three of the 4 safe to ignore lines (verbose and both info lines) quit logging.
Am I taking a risk by changing the logging level? I am cluless about what vmomi tracing is supposed to do for me even after reading through every hit I could find.
