Update syslog.conf

[RobMokkink]

Today i downloaded VIMA. And give it a go.

I thought there were some tooling to update the ESX hosts syslog.conf. However this is still not possible, only for 3i.

I now make use of plink in combination with powershell to get things done.

Does anyone else have an idea?

option #1:

VI client - Under configuration -> Advanced Settings -> Syslog -> you can configure the remote syslog server information (and the port number)

(Please note - the above option is only available in ESX 3i systems)

option #2:

Use vicfg-syslog (under VIMA)

This will add the same entries done by the VI Client

Alternatively, you can configure vi-logger feature in VIMA to redirect ESX(i) logs to VIMA appliance.

Hi AshWath,

Thanks for your reply. But i already know that

I have my own powershell script to configure or reconfigure alle esx hosts in a farm.
