ESXi5.0 Logs

In ESXi5.0, what logs do we need to look for to see any issues on the ESXi server such as for any crashes, errors and warnings.  And do these logs disappear when you reboot the server , or is there a persistent place setup or do you have to set one up manually.

Any advise on ESXi5.0 logs.

Here is the KB link to the log file locations;

You could also consider using Syslog Server for central store of log files and/or the Dump collector for network dumps (useful in case of stateless hosts or Auto Deploy).
