How do I fix: Discovery log is too large and could not be saved. Log length: 20416812, Max length: 16777215.

I get this message when discovering Nutanix:

Discovery log is too large and could not be saved. Log length: 20416812, Max length: 16777215.

1. Where is the "Max Length" defined? I don't see "16777215" set anywhere.
2. How do I fix this? I set mid.sm.discolog.max_log_size to "24417384", rebooted the mid server, and I still get that same message.

Hi,

Please refer to this link

Mark Correct or Helpful if it helps.

That's from 3 years ago and doesn't answer the question.

Hi,

3 Years doesn't necessarily mean it will not work. These tables and properties are in sandiego and in tokyo too.

Here are few other links for you to refer although few years old.

Is it a good idea and safe to set mid server property mid.sm.discolog.max_object_size value to 50000...

The max object size reached the maximum limit of [1000]. To adjust this use the mid property mid.sm....

and then Aman gave you a solution below too you can try that.

You can right click on field label and configure > dictionary there you can increase the length of dictionary.

I have no idea where to set the value Aman suggests.
