Configuring the Logs
vCenter Server Heartbeat allows you to change the default location for the logs used for storing data in the
queue.
Configuring Message Queue Logs
The server temporarily stores replication data received in the passive server’s receive queue and the replication
data waiting in the active server’s send queue in message queue logs. This conguration only aects the local
server. Logs can be in dierent locations on the Primary and Secondary servers.
Procedure
1 Click the Logs tab.
2 Click Browse to navigate to the folder to store the message queue logs.
3 Select the folder and click Next or Finish.

Configuring the Maximum Disk Usage
The Congure Server wizard allows you to congure the maximum disk space allocated for logging.
Log les can increase in size on the active server under the following conditions:
■
If the active server cannot communicate with the passive server
■
Certain operations on the passive server
■
If the server is under heavy load
When the disk reaches quota, replication stops and the system is no longer protected.
