I'm trying to offload our vCenter logs to a syslog server and I noticed while doing this that vCenter is logging ALOT of messages. Specifically vpxd.log to the tune of 24,000 in about a 6 minute time frame. Below is a snippet of what I am seeing repeatedly in the vpxd.log. Is this normal behavior that these messages are logged so much?

Same for me... any luck finding the issue? Lots of noise in vpxd.log when we have issues to troubleshoot.
I am having this issue as well, anyone seen a fix or reason why?
These logs are for Syslog server accessing vCenter, Make sure Syslog server connected vCenter successfully, if not then check time settings on vCenter server. vCenter will file these logs when syslog trying to connect.
