Getting syslog from ESXi

I can't send syslog data from esxi 6.0 to Splunk. I do not know what the reason of problem.

And I having read on the forum, that problem can be in my free license.

It's true?

Hello SJobs07

Are you using Splunk free or ESXi free licence? I can find no reference to ESXi free having any syslog limitations.

Make sure you have it configured correctly, this page has some good information on this:

Hope this helps.

You need to dig up logs if it configured correctly,  have a look on this VMware Knowledge Base

Hello, TheBobkin!

The free licence has ESXi 6.0.

Oh, I already configured by this link and I checked many times for mistakes and I didn't found.
