I would love to pretend that VMM is bug-free, but the fact is that there are probably a few lurking around. If you do run into a bug, here is how to notify me about it.
1. Ensure that DEBUG is turned on for the VMM log settings. This is configured in the vmm.properties file (in the conf directory). For example:
# log4j loggers log4j.logger.com.hyper9.vmm.server=DEBUG, console log4j.appender.console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern=[%p] "%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss:SSS}" %m%n log4j.logger.com.hyper9.vmm.server=DEBUG, vmmlog log4j.appender.vmmlog=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.vmmlog.File=/tmp/vmm-server.log log4j.appender.vmmlog.MaxFileSize=100KB log4j.appender.vmmlog.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.vmmlog.layout.ConversionPattern=[%p] "%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss:SSS}" %m%n
Notice that the value for log4j.logger.com.hyper9.vmm.server is set to DEBUG.
2. Reproduce the bug (if you can).
3. Compress the VMM logs directory and the VMM server log (configured in the vmm.properties file). The important files are the catalina log files, the localhost log files, and the vmm-server.log file (or whatever you name it).
4. Create a new forum post under the Hyper9 VMM forums.
5. Describe the problem you are experiencing in the post and attach the log bundle to the post.
6. Be sure to mark the post as a question so we can mark it as answered :)
