VMware logs - locations and what’s in them
December 19th, 2008
I was looking into an issue following an upgrade to vCenter Server 2.5 last weekend. So I set about searching through the file system for the log files on the server with very little luck to be honest.
I then found two excellent posts from Rick Blythe a.k.a the vmwarewolf, the posts detail the locations of the logs and what each one means. This is an excellent post and one that I’m going to keep handy for all those strange little issues where insight into the logs might give a clue to the problem.
