Unable to read the vCenter logs

I am unable to view the contents of the old vcenter log files. The files are gziped files eg. vpxd-2796.log.gz

Please advice on how to make it readable

You will need to extract the compressed logs using something like winzip or winrar for Windows or you can transfer it to a Linux or Mac system and use "tar" to extract the logs.
