ESX Server is not configured to maintain a specific number of log files via log rotation.
Description
Discussion Text
Virtual machines can write troubleshooting information into a virtual machine log file (vmware.log) stored on the VMFS volume. Virtual machine users and processes may be configured to abuse the logging function, either intentionally or inadvertently so that large amounts of data flood the log file. Over time, the log file can consume so much of the ESX Server’s file system space that it fills the hard disk, causing an effective denial of service on the ESX Server.
