Логи ESX и vCenter.

Взял основу отсюда - Which ESX log file, Which Virtual Center Log File.

ESX:

• Vmkernel - /var/log/vmkernel – records activities related to the virtual machines and ESX server.

• Vmkernel Warnings - /var/log/vmkwarning – records activities with the virtual machines.

• Vmkernel Summary - /var/log/vmksummary - Used to determine uptime and availability statistics for ESX Server; human-readable summary found in /var/log/vmksummary.txt

• ESX Server host agent log - /var/log/vmware/hostd.log - Contains information on the agent that manages and configures the ESX Server host and its virtual machines (Search the file date/time stamps to find the log file it is currently outputting to).

• Service Console - /var/log/messages - Contain all general log messages used to troubleshoot virtual machines on ESX Server.

• Web Access - /var/log/vmware/webAccess - Records information on Web-based access to ESX Server.

• Authentication log - /var/log/secure - Contains records of connections that require authentication, such as VMware daemons and actions initiated by the xinetd daemon.

• VirtualCenter agent - /var/log/vmware/vpx - Contains information on the agent that communicates with VirtualCenter.

            Ротация настраивается /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg


Ротация большинства логов настраивается в  /etc/logrotate.conf

• Virtual Machines - The same directory as the affected virtual machine’s configuration files; named vmware.log - Contain information when a virtual machine crashes or ends abnormally.

To specify an alternative location or file name for virtual machine logging, use the log.filename option.
To direct logs to be written to an alternate location, use log.filename.
To configure log rotation behaviors, define them in the .vmx file of the virtual machine and use log.rotateSize and log.keepOld.

Можно еще сюда попробовать заглянуть - VMware logs. Кое какакая информация, полезная при трабшутинге.

А из этой статьи в KB можно вычитать настройки логирования для логов ВМ:
  • logging = true or false
  • log.rotateSize = maximum size in bytes the file can grow to: 10000
  • log.keepOld = rotation level, amount of log files to keep: 10
  • log.fileName = change name and path of log file
vCenter:
