FSLogix Shrink Event Logs

Microsoft released a new version of FSLogix (Build 2.9.8361.52326) which has the following in the release notes:

Feature: Added the ability to compact the user’s container during the sign-out phase.

More info can be read in the Release Notes

Now when this all is in place and working, the events are logged into the following eventlog:

When looking into that log on a SBC/XenApp server you will see a lot of logs.

To filter this  create a custom filter with the following XML:


Here is the xml:

<querylist>
<query id="0" path="Microsoft-FSLogix-Apps/Operational"><select path="Microsoft-FSLogix-Apps/Operational">
*[EventData[Data[@Name='WasCompacted'] and (Data='true')]]
</select>
</query>
</querylist>The custom view will only show the compacted disk messages.

Note from the field: Make an event forwarding rule for all SBC/VDI machines to you management server and create a custom view from the forwarded events log. This will consolidate all messages into 1 log.
