[Bug 1322897] Re: syslog spam Failed to get vmstats.

[WIll Salmon]

Thanks. At least it's useful to know that the message can be ignored as
it comes out EVERY 30 SECONDS (not every 30 min) !!

I found that the suggested rsyslog /etc/rsyslog.d/40-discard.conf did
not work (on Ubuntu 12.04.5 with Trusty kernel and rsyslog version
5.8.6-1ubuntu8.9), so I used the file below instead - see :
http://www.rsyslog.com/discarding-unwanted-messages/

# Discard unwanted message from vmtoolsd
# Ubuntu open-vm-tools-lts-trusty has bug that writes message every 30sec:
# "vmsvc[1070]: [ warning] [guestinfo] Failed to get vmstats."
#
# See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1322897
#
:msg, contains, "[ warning] [guestinfo] Failed to get vmstats." ~
