I can see in VC when events occur and who initiated them, but how can I see what was done exactly. My specific question is with the event ReconfigureVirtual Machine. I see when and who did something, but is there a way to tell what was done? More memory, add a nic and so on.
VC does not provide that detail, there are several logs on the ESX hosts that you can check and should provide this detail, I think the vmware.log is probably the file it is in...
o Vmkernel - /var/log/vmkernel records activities related to the virtual machines and ESX server
o 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.)
o VirtualCenter agent - /var/log/vmware/vpx - Contains information on the agent that communicates with VirtualCenter
o Virtual Machines - The same directory as the affected virtual machines configuration files; named vmware.log - Contain information when a virtual machine crashes or ends abnormally
