Table 1.3: Data Logging Client Properties
Property
Description
dls.localIp
Sets the IP address used by the DSView software to identify the virtual machine.
dls.queueSize
Sets the message queue size.
dls.bufferSize
Sets the size of the buffer (in bytes) used to receive and send data.
Sets the max number of messages included in a packet. By default, the data logging
dls.packetSize
client attempts to get a number of messages before sending data to the DSView
software. Setting this number to 1 would decrease the performance and increase
the network traffic.
Max wait time-out in milliseconds. The data logging client waits this amount of time
dls.waitTimeout
to reach the max packet size then sends the messages regardless of whether the
packet size is reached.
dls.pipes
dls.<pipe_name>
dls.<pipe_name>.type
List of pipes. Only the names in these properties are created as input or output
pipes.
Type of pipe. Use dls.file for files, dls.pipe for named pipes or fifo devices or dls.tcp
for TCP clients.
Designates if the pipe is an input or output pipe.

Property
Description
dls.<pipe_name>.filepath
dls.<pipe_name>.ip
(For TCP only) The IP address where the data logging client creates a socket
(always localhost).
dls.<pipe_name>.port

dls.<pipe_name>.encoder
(For TCP only) Sets the tunneling encoder only if SSH is available.
dls.<pipe_name>.encoder.ip
IP address from the SSH server that runs tunneling (always localhost).
dls.<pipe_name>.encoder.port
dls.<pipe_name>.encoder.publicKeyFile
dls.<pipe_name>.encoder.sshIp
dls.<pipe_name>.encoder.sshPort
DSView Syslog Server port.
Path to the exported data logging key.

DSView Software Events
NOTE: This feature is not supported in all virtual environments. Typically, if an operation is not supported, the
corresponding buttons and links will not be visible when the virtual environment units are selected.

Overview window for a virtual environment unit. However, events logged in the virtual environment do not

VMware Viewer Impersonation**
* If you use the virtual environment to add or remove a virtual machine, the corresponding events are logged and
the virtual environment and DSView software are automatically synchronized..
** This event is initiated from the DSView software and does not have an equivalent in the virtual environment.
This event will be recorded if:
Use DSView User Credentials for Operations was not selected in the Add Unit Wizard. See Adding a Hypervisor
Manager or Server on page 3 for more information.
-orAn event is initiated from a DSView server that does not own the virtual unit. In this case, the supplied virtual environment credentials are used to access the unit.
