Forward vCenter Server Appliance logs to syslog server
Using Syslog server to forward the logs from vCenter is essential and best practice, forwarding logs to syslog server should always be in your configuration checklist. This is also a automated best way to ensure all the logs are streamed. Collected logs are used later for better troubleshooting vCenter server related issues incase of vCenter is failed. This also achieve the goal of centralizing vCenter server streaming logs on syslog server.
To configure Syslog server login to vCenter VAMI url portal (https://vCenterserver:5480), Go to Syslog >> and on Forwarding Configuration click CONFIGURE.
Note: Prior to setting up the forwarding configuration, remote syslog server(must) be configured and a network connection must exist between the vCenter server and syslog server(s) to enable log streaming.
On the Create Forwarding Configuration type Remote (syslog host) Server Address, protocol and port number. For protocol options there are 4 options - TCP, RELP, TLS, UDP. Also you can setup maximum 3 remote syslog hosts by clicking + Add button.
