Re: info needed on syslog server

Hi

esxi logs location should be in a persistent storage to avoid the waste of RAM disk or other side effects during the life of your host. For this reason there are 2 ways to store log:

1. Use syslog collector: in this case all log contents are redirect to this software using a "service" way

2. Move "scratch" files (including logs) out of the ram disk

Personally I prefer another approach more expansive but more "service provider": the use of Log insight, but if you have few host the second way could be better.

 

this was yet discussed on Re: VMware syslog collector... Answering your first question this file is a mixture of:

vobd

vpxa

vmkernal

hostd

fdm

vmkwarning

rhttpproxy

snmpd

hostd-probe

 

 

Answering your second question 2 KB could show you how to redirect log in syslog and in scratch way:

Hope this could be useful
