Hi,<br />
<br />
Which setting should be used for logging on ESXi since I can see 2 settings:<br />
ESXi, Configuration Tab then Syslog, <br />
-global Syslog.global.logdir<br />
-Scratchconfig<br />
<br />
We use the scratchconfig but what about the global, syslog.global.logdir?<br />
<br />
Please advise.<br />

Hi,

Which setting should be used for logging on ESXi since I can see 2 settings:

ESXi 5.1: logging to lun instead of local (USB)

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
