The reason why I perform a reboot was that the command ' esxcli system syslog reload ' is not working. And services.sh restart command does not applies these changes.  About your advice forgive me because I did not understand exactly. Lets say I want to change a string in the middle of the code in file. For instance, <!- default logging --> <logLevel> verbose </logLevel> to <logLevel> error </logLevel> How can I use /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh and lastly, Are there any possibilities that stop reloading the config files ? I mean, any chance to remain as changed status ? (by the way I connect with ssh)

One thing that I just realised is that when I make change on a file (such as vmware/hostd/default-config.xml) like changing 'default log' verbose to none, after performing reboot the file loaded as unchanged form. So it is like a change cannot be done. . Does it load some custom files after every reboot. I think If I solve this weird issue in some way, I may solve the problem. Now it is end of the shift. I will check the answers but I will not be able to apply changes on machine.

Thanks for reply, actually we have a syslog-collector that works integrated with log server. For other Linux machines (Suse, Red hat, CentOs) I can send logs that higher than warning level. Same configuration also can be handled in esx3.5 or 4. Simply it is just like: *.warning @<ip_or_host_name>. In this case I can also prevent possible network-traffic problems (caused by info or debug logs). What I want to do is that applying a filter while sending logs to the server (like what I did to other Linux machines)

Hi everyone, I am struggling with some problems related with syslog severity. There is no problem when redirecting syslogs to a remote server. However, I cannot apply a filtering (Severity) when redirect. Moreover, I cannot find a document related with ESXi 5.5 about this topic. I do not want to get logs below warning type. Because when I cannot apply severity, info or debug types written to the database with high amount of numbers. In long period it will return as cost to me by means of storage or query time. I have found some files that may cause those info types. I changed these files (<logLevel> info </logLevel> to error or warning) but still I cannot solve my problem. Well.. I'm sure there is a simple solution for that but I am far away from this solution. So I need help about syslog severity. Thanks.
