Issue/Introduction

When troubleshooting issues related to or governed by ic-serviced daemon, the logging level can be modified to provide more verbose logs. 

Environment

Any version of VMWare Smarts Assurance on a Linux platform.

Resolution

on the host where the ic-serviced daemon resides, do the following:

cd /etc/init.d/ic-serviced

edit ic-serviced, search for and modify change --loglevel=notice to --loglevel=debug

save and close the file.

/etc/init.d/ic-serviced stop

/etc/init.d/ic-serviced start

The log is called sm_serviced_en_US_UTF-8-log and will be created in your SMHOME directory (defined at the top of the ic-servicd file).

Additional Information

Be sure to return the logging level to notice as soon as the desired event is collected.
