i have a virtual server that has been powered off. i haven't found anything on the vcenter gui that turned off why it turned off who turned it off. how do I find out why this server has shut down. i have attached the screenshot.
The virtual machine's vmware.log file may contain hints. Other than this, you may check the guest operating system's event logs.
