Logging levels

kwg66 · ‎10-30-2019

The logging on all of my v6.5 hosts is the default, and in the advanced settings config.HostAgent.log.level shows the level is info. great!

However, in our syslog application the folks who support it are showing me "verbose" entries, and they are complaining about the amount of them and their usefulness in the system.

Why, if the logging level is set to info are we flooded with "verbose" logs and what can be done about it?

Also, within the VMware KB, I see the following for which I am completely confused:

Note: To individually set the logging level for system components such as auth, vmkernel, hostd etc., you may select the loggers under syslog from vSphere client GUI and set to desired value.

Where is this I can't seem to find this anywhere??
