Syslog connection drops

Hey guys,

Recently we've seen a few ESXi hosts reporting dropped connections to the syslog servers. These are seen across different environments, some using vRealize Log Insight appliances and some configured to use syslog global directories. The common factor between these hosts are that they were recently upgraded to ESXi 6.5U2C for L1TF patches.

Has anyone come across this using vSphere 6.5 Update 2 or if anyone aware if this is a known issue in this ESXi build?

Cheers,

Hi Onil,

Can you please share more details or screenshot of the dropped connections.

We have upgrade to 6.5 build 9298722 to mitigate L1TF, but there is no such issues on our upgraded environment.

Hi Raj,

Sorry for my late response. We identified the issue in the environment and this was purely due to the network which was causing the intermittent disconnections with the syslog server.

Cheers,

Onil
