Hello. I am receiving an alert that states "System logs on host are stored on non-persistent storage." This is on an ESXi 6 host. I have moved my scratch space to an iSCSI datastore and the system logs are pointing to this scratch space. I have also rebooted the server multiple times. I have this same setup on my ESXi 5.5 hosts and they do not have this message. What is considered persistent storage in VMware?
Please refer to below KB, this applies to ESXI/vCenter 5.0/5.5 to 6.0 and 6.5

What is the path format you have mentioned in Syslog.global.logDir? Make sure this is in format [Datastorename]/foldername
For example : [datastore1] /systemlogs
That fixed my issue. I thought this referenced the scratch location in esxi5. Did this change?

Wrong answer.
I don;t have DELL or EMC or Poweredge....lets try again.
Why does this NOT work in v6.0.0. Just updated one of 4 hosts and cannot config persistent storage.
FUCK!
Hi,
Could you please share the syntax you have used ?
This could be different issue, someone will mark answer if his/her query resolved
What is the exact error you are seeing, is it same ? Please upload logs if possible.
