Changing vmware syslog collector settings

[mark_chuman]

Anyone aware of how to change these settings after syslog is installed?

[danbarr · Accepted solution]

The configuration file, vmconfig-syslog.xml, is located here on Server 2008/2008R2:

%ProgramData%\VMware\VMware Syslog Collector

Or here on 2003:

%AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\VMware\VMware Syslog Collector

Edit vmconfig-syslog.xml to change the desired settings, then restart the VMware Syslog Collector service to make them active.
