Remote logging for ESXi hosts must be configured.
Description
Discussion Text
Remote logging to a central log host provides a secure, centralized store for ESXi logs. By gathering host log files onto a central host, it can more easily monitor all hosts with a single tool. It can also do aggregate analysis and searching to look for such things as coordinated attacks on multiple hosts.
Logging to a secure, centralized log server also helps prevent log tampering and provides a long-term audit record.
