SSH over to your ESX server. You will need sudo or root access to complete the following.
-
Edit the following with your favorite editor.
vi /etc/syslog.conf
- Add the following line to the bottom of the file. This will forward all the logs to the syslog server — a good thing.
#forward to Syslog Server
*.* @syslog.domain
- Restart the syslog service
service syslog restart
- Open the local firewall to allow UDP over port 514
esxcfg-firewall -o 514,udp,out,syslog
- Reload the firewall configuration
esxcfg-firewall -l
