ISEE_CMS_SWMAGENT fullfilling the application log...

[Ph. de Saint-Georges]

Hello,

does somebody know why the ISEE_CMS_SWMAGENT fill up my windows application log with a huge amount of messages like the ones below so that I have to empty the log each day:

Minimized tuner cleaning up and exiting with code=4
Maximizing due to DDE request. arg= -nologo -minidde -shell 1253
Starting tuner
*** Debug File at C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SWMAgent\.marimba\ISEE_CMS_SWMAGENT\launch.log
ScheduleThread stopping
etc etc...

Thanks for help

I would also be very interested in getting rid of these messages that are drowning everything else in the application and system event logs.

Generally speaking, logging what is going on is a good thing. It will be incredibly helpful in debugging a problem in the future. I would suggest making the log larger and selecting 'Overwrite events as needed."

[Ole Thomsen_1]

Good things can be overdone :-)

I agree that it is rather annoying to have the application event log spammed by insignificant informational events, making it hard to monitor what is really important.

Please log to a file only, or give me the option of changing the logging level, please. In my opinion this level should be used for debugging only.

We have this same issue as well. The answer of "make the application log larger" is not a reasonable answer and doesn't actually answer the original question. These messages should not be generated in the event log, unless I explicitly set the "show me many useless garbage debug messages" option. So how do I turn them off?

[Dan Philippe]

Not only it fills up my evt log, I see this error "ISEE_CMS_SWMAGENT error: 1453 Could not enumerate processes: Insufficient quota to complete the requested service. (0x5ad)" just about 2-3 minutes before the server crashes (unexpected shutdown).

I looked at the disk and Quota is not enabled. Any idea what might be the cause?

This is caused by the marimba component, now owned by BMC.

I've got the same issue. Too many "informational" messages in the application log. A lot of noise that does not belong there.

On and on about 24 such entries every hour. There has to be a better way to log these information events if it's needed at all. I'd like to just shut this thing up.

This is an old thread, but the HP moderator never gave a real answer - merely babbled something about "logging is good".

Is there a real resolution for this problem?

[Mr Bill]

I'm having the same problem. The application log is full of these Marimba tuner events. I'm thinking of turning the ISEE_CMS_SWMAGEN service off/manual. I echo the posts above, why can't this noise just be sent to a log, or allow me to turn off some of these useless messages which appear every couple of minutes. The Application Log is not the place for this. HP Please help...

[rcseattle]

Let us know how that works for you. I believe the component is required for the VCRM to function.

The component is owned by BMC, so I don't think HP is putting any effort into fixing this behavior.

"Generally speaking, logging what is going on is a good thing."... Noise filling your server application logs is not a good thing David.
