VMWare vSphere 5 Task Console
What determines how far back/how many tasks are retained for viewing when you go to Task Console? At present it seems I have some kind of default of five days or so. I would like to crank that up to more like 30 days. Thank you.

This is fixed by vSphere Hypervisor or vCenter if using.

We have a vCenter server at say address 10.10.10.7. If I point my browser to 10.10.10.7 I am presented with a vSphere web client login. When I log in I can see tasks and events but they don't go back very far. I have read that I can go onto vcenter server itself or the ESX servers and go through /etc/logs. But surely there has to be a way to scroll back further than just a few days via the web client. No??

It is what is it. Perhaps there is a log file on the vCenter server I could view manually?
all stored in the vCenter SQL database.
