      <title>Does Syslog get wiped out each time a host is rebooted?</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I guess we've been fortunate and haven't had to pull logs for Vmware tickets in a while.&amp;nbsp; We had an issue over the weekend where we had to hard boot hosts to resolve.&amp;nbsp; Afterwards, we pulled logs for a vendor to look at but, they only went back to the reboot.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It's been a while but, I seem to recall the syslogs just overwriting based on how much space was available regardless of reboots.&amp;nbsp; Has that changed?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;One thing that we have changed is booting our hosts from SD cards rather than local disk or SAN.&amp;nbsp; Could this make a difference?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes. Since you are booting from SD cards you do not have persistent storage for your logs. You'd need to forward it off to a syslog such as LogInsight or comparable. Your hosts should be throwing an Informational also:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="pdirmann01_0-1619538728273.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/88440i944ED25B273B011A/image-size/medium/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="pdirmann01_0-1619538728273.png" alt="pdirmann01_0-1619538728273.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes, because when you install your OS on a HDD ESXi will create a separate partition if conditions are met. I believe if the boot device is not SD Card/USB Flash and is greater than 8GB, the difference would be formatted with VMFS as a datastore where your scratch partition and core dumps would go to by default.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Some of this has changed since 7.x was released to accommodate for limitations in system partition and boot bank sizes.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;That's the thing though, our SD cards are 32GB.&amp;nbsp; I would have thought that was large enough to put the logs on. But it seems that Vmware sees it's an SD card and doesn't even bother.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
