      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;In the lower part of the vSphere Client I can see the most recent tasks, i.e. VM power on and power off, snapshot and so on.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How can I see the tasks occurred, let's say, four days ago?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How can I configure a vSphere ESXi hosts and/or a vCenter to keep record of tasks for at least 15 days?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;marius&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Well, the tasks/events which you are seeing is a part of query from the simple database query. In a vsphere client on a single host, I am not sure, if you can increase the retention policy.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However, on a vSphere Center, you can increase it by&lt;/P&gt;&lt;TABLE border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="list" summary=""&gt;&lt;TBODY&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD class="bulletnumber" colspan="1" rowspan="1" width="18pt"&gt;&lt;P&gt;1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD class="bullettext" colspan="1" rowspan="1" width="100%"&gt;&lt;A name="GUID-DD999601-2F41-498D-A577-DDC7C06648EE__STEP_79D7C7F0E11C43189176F2BCD50507A9" shape="rect"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;P class="Para"&gt;&lt;A name="GUID-DD999601-2F41-498D-A577-DDC7C06648EE__d668e71" shape="rect"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;select &lt;SPAN class="menucascade"&gt;&lt;A name="GUID-DD999601-2F41-498D-A577-DDC7C06648EE__d668e73" shape="rect"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN class="uicontrol"&gt;&lt;A name="GUID-DD999601-2F41-498D-A577-DDC7C06648EE__d668e75" shape="rect"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;Administration&lt;/SPAN&gt; &amp;gt; &lt;SPAN class="uicontrol"&gt;vCenter Server Settings&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt; to display the vCenter Server Settings dialog box.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD class="bulletnumber" colspan="1" rowspan="1" width="18pt"&gt;&lt;P&gt;2&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD class="bullettext" colspan="1" rowspan="1" width="100%"&gt;&lt;A name="GUID-DD999601-2F41-498D-A577-DDC7C06648EE__STEP_16C68AFA3A7648579CE8861C45BDB417" shape="rect"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;P class="Para"&gt;&lt;A name="GUID-DD999601-2F41-498D-A577-DDC7C06648EE__CMD_F40B946F129B472BB838B60E300AB742" shape="rect"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;Select &lt;SPAN class="uicontrol"&gt;&lt;A name="GUID-DD999601-2F41-498D-A577-DDC7C06648EE__UICONTROL_151B6D4407E24739BFF8F2B564CEA570" shape="rect"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;Database Retention Policy&lt;/SPAN&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD class="bulletnumber" colspan="1" rowspan="1" width="18pt"&gt;&lt;P&gt;3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD class="bullettext" colspan="1" rowspan="1" width="100%"&gt;&lt;A name="GUID-DD999601-2F41-498D-A577-DDC7C06648EE__STEP_6177DC77BD714659BDB28135CAEF3C1E" shape="rect"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;P class="Para"&gt;&lt;A name="GUID-DD999601-2F41-498D-A577-DDC7C06648EE__CMD_5D3E0FFBF765455FB27C7E3E98CF2B09" shape="rect"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;(Optional)&amp;nbsp; &lt;/STRONG&gt;Select&lt;SPAN class="uicontrol"&gt;Tasks retained for&lt;/SPAN&gt;, and enter a value in days in the text box.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="Para"&gt;&lt;A name="GUID-DD999601-2F41-498D-A577-DDC7C06648EE__d328t115" shape="rect"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;Information about tasks performed on this &lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;A name="GUID-DD999601-2F41-498D-A577-DDC7C06648EE__PRODUCTNAME_36A67B5996CE47209B6ACC1FB2332B47" shape="rect"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;vCenter Server&lt;/SPAN&gt; system will be discarded after the specified number of days.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD class="bulletnumber" colspan="1" rowspan="1" width="18pt"&gt;&lt;P&gt;4&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD class="bullettext" colspan="1" rowspan="1" width="100%"&gt;&lt;A name="GUID-DD999601-2F41-498D-A577-DDC7C06648EE__STEP_0BB6B68B1A5B4AC4B3CB36B8A1BE2C0C" shape="rect"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;P class="Para"&gt;&lt;A name="GUID-DD999601-2F41-498D-A577-DDC7C06648EE__CMD_C939FA4924584BB4B3B979B0099646B0" shape="rect"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;(Optional)&amp;nbsp; &lt;/STRONG&gt;Select&lt;SPAN class="uicontrol"&gt;&lt;A name="GUID-DD999601-2F41-498D-A577-DDC7C06648EE__UICONTROL_EDE9D36BFD224652BABD0549E03C2673" shape="rect"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;Events retained for&lt;/SPAN&gt;, and enter a value in days in the text box.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="Para"&gt;&lt;A name="GUID-DD999601-2F41-498D-A577-DDC7C06648EE__d328t130" shape="rect"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;Information about events for this &lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;A name="GUID-DD999601-2F41-498D-A577-DDC7C06648EE__PRODUCTNAME_36A67B5996CE47209B6ACC1FB2332B47" shape="rect"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;vCenter Server&lt;/SPAN&gt; system will be discarded after the specified number of days.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Well, you just have to export it from &lt;/P&gt;&lt;TABLE border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="list" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" summary=""&gt;&lt;TBODY&gt;&lt;TR style="border: none;"&gt;&lt;TD class="bullettext" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding: 0 0.6em 0 0; border-bottom-style: none; border-top-style: none;" width="100%"&gt;&lt;P class="Para" style="margin-top: 0 !important; margin-bottom: 0 !important; padding-top: 0.4em !important; padding-bottom: 0.35em !important;"&gt;Select &lt;SPAN class="menucascade"&gt;&lt;A name="Vf7448c119f5afd286440__menucascade_84CA844ABD1947F5BA9977071112244C" shape="rect"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN class="uicontrol" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;File&lt;/SPAN&gt; &amp;gt; &lt;SPAN class="uicontrol" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Export&lt;/SPAN&gt; &amp;gt; &lt;SPAN class="uicontrol" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Export Events&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR style="border: none;"&gt;&lt;TD class="bulletnumber" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding: 0 0.6em 0 0; border-bottom-style: none; border-top-style: none;" width="18pt"&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am not sure of any 3rd party solutions for this purpose.
