v6.7 DRS history log?

Hi all.  Aside from some of the Fling utilities, does ESXi have any log where I can view DRS activity history?

thanks,

George

Hi

Those logs should be at the Vcenter logs. in old versions were at /var/log/vmware/hostd.log and /vmfs/volumes/datastore/vm/vmware.log, but they won´t stay for long, so better to send them out to syslog server.

Regards

Andres, do you know which particular vCenter log(s) the DRS history would be located or do you just configure vCenter syslog to point to syslog server then view all content from syslog server?
