Syslog Tidbits

Syslog Tidbits

The centralization of log files using Syslog requires UDP port 514 open between the ESX host and the Syslog server. Open a Syslog port in the ESX firewall with the following command:
esxcfg-firewall -o 514,udp,out,"syslog"

Syslog is configured on the ESX host in /etc/syslog.conf

Splunk is a very popular Syslog server solution.
