This procedure is also documented in this KB: Configuring syslog on ESXi (2003322) | VMware KB

Other alternative method is to use VMware PowerCLI and use cmdlet Set-VMHostSysLogServer

Set-VMHostSysLogServer - PowerCLI VMware.VimAutomation.Core Help Reference

All host: Get-VMHost | Set-VMHostSysLogServer -SysLogServer <syslog server IP address/hostname> -SysLogServerPort 514

Hosts on specific cluster: Get-Cluster 'Cluster Name' | Get-VMHost | Set-VMHostSysLogServer -SysLogServer <syslog server IP address/hostname> -SysLogServerPort 514
