These Logs can be useful when there are errors, but on daily usage they are useless and will only consume resources.

The mksSandbox.log, which will force 3 identical versions, same logs each time and useless.

and the vminst.log which keeps increasing in size.

BTW this folder can't be accessed, you have to have system privilege to access the folder, which makes you wonder why there are logs there!

in the Folder vmware-SYSTEM you will find the USB log file.

In the folder vmware-%username% you will find hundreds of unnecessary log files for the user interface and the unity helper, with names vmware-ui-xxxx.log and vmware-unity-helper-xxxx.log.

All these logs are not optional, I doubt that the average user will be aware of their existence. It should get created and rotated just like the vmware.log files no matter what "Debugging" options are There are no documentations at all regarding logs files.

For the most part though, the entries in the mksSandbox.log are all things that used to be printed into the vmware.log that are just now being printed into a different file, so the overall amount of logging (as far as the total bytes that hit the disk) shouldn't be substantially different from prior versions.īut if your concern is the actual presence of the file itself and not the amount of logging, I'm not aware of a way to just turn off the creation of that file. So there should be a much reduced rate of logging to the disk when the "None" option is set in both the "vmware.log" and the "mksSandbox.log". We similarly ship multiple "mksSandbox" binaries, and the "Debugging" option controls which one of those gets launched the same way. If you check our installed Workstation folder, we actually ship multiple separate "vmx" binaries, one for each mode. The "Debugging Info" field controls whether you're running our fully-optimized hypervisor, or the less-optimized one that has extra debugging checks and logging.
