Okay, informed myself. The issue is hard to reproduce. A customer had this issue about once per week, it depends on how much memory paging in/out is occurring. The trouble though is that because these overflows create such huge numbers that statistics for the whole cluster get polluted. That is why we are pushing this fix.
Attached is a script that can be run on the ESX server. Usage: python query_vmgueststats.py --vmname <name of the vm> --host localhost --user root --password <root password> It will periodically query guest stats and print them out. If those numbers make sense, this is all to be expected for a successful test. ** Attachment added: "query_vmgueststats.py" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1793219/+attachment/5193417/+files/query_vmgueststats.py -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1793219 Title: open-vm-tools guest stats overflow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1793219/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
