Hi Krishna,

VCenter log files are just text files you can read directly with Notepad for example. You can find information about where to find them in this kb.

A small correction

var/log/vmware/vpx/vpxa.log – Virtual Center agent log on the ESX host

On the virtual center server the logs are located in %ALLUSERPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\vpxd.log

Check the time when the error is reported and simultaneously check the errors in the logs

To increase the default logging level use kb.vmware.com/kb/1001584
