Configuring Log File Collection Values
Horizon Client generates log les in the ~/Library/Logs/VMware Horizon Client directory on the Mac client.
Administrators can congure the maximum number of log les and the maximum number of days to keep
log les by seing keys in the /Library/Preferences/com.vmware.horizon.plist le on a Mac client.
Table 1‑1. plist Keys for Log File Collection
Key Description
MaxDebugLogs Maximum number of log les. The maximum value is 100.
MaxDaysToKeepLogs Maximum number of days to keep log les. This value has no limit.
Files that do not match these criteria are deleted when you start Horizon Client.
If the MaxDebugLogs or MaxDaysToKeepLogs keys are not set in the com.vmware.horizon.plist le, the
default number of log les is 5 and the default number of days to keep log les is 7.
Configure VMware Blast Options
You can congure H.264 decoding and network protocol options for remote desktop and application
sessions that use the VMware Blast display protocol.
Prerequisites
This feature requires Horizon Agent 7.0 or later.
Procedure
1 Select VMware Horizon Client > Preferences from the menu bar and click VMware Blast.
2 Congure the decoding and network protocol options.
Option Description
Allow H.264 decoding
Select this option to allow H.264 decoding in Horizon Client. When this
option is selected (the default seing), Horizon Client uses H.264 decoding
if the agent supports H.264 encoding. If the agent does not support H.264
encoding, Horizon Client uses JPG/PNG decoding.
Deselect this option to always use JPG/PNG decoding.
Allow UDP networking
Select this option to allow UDP networking in Horizon Client. When this
option is selected (the default seing), Horizon Client uses UDP
networking if UDP connectivity is available. If UDP networking is blocked,
Horizon Client uses TCP networking.
Deselect this option to always use TCP networking.
N UDP is disabled by default on a Horizon remote desktop. For UDP
to work, it must be enabled on the desktop, the client, and the Blast Secure
Gateway (BSG).
3 Close the Preferences dialog box.
Your changes take eect the next time a user connects to a remote desktop or application and selects the
VMware Blast display protocol. Your changes do not aect existing VMware Blast sessions.
