Working fine but Esxi logs are growing

every check create a Login event and a logout event in the event table of the Esxi.
We get a lot of check (2 check per VM every 5min). That is generating millions of lines in the Esxi database which became very slow. We already reduce the event&task conservation time but not enough.

Does anyone know a way to limit the number of login to Esxi done by the check ?

Owner's reply

For issues like this better open an issue on GitHub. Well - you are right. Lot of logins. This is caused by the way the VMware Perl SDK is used. If a check starts you have to connect to VMware. Thats a login. Every time. So a lot of checks means a lot of logins. If you use a session file (which must be unique) you hav a persistent session per check. So less login but a lot of open sessions.

But this problem is imported from the original one )check_vmware_api.pl/check_esx3.pl). I am working on a solution but first I have to clean up the rest of the code.
