asked on 

vSphere VM system log export - what's exported?

When you do a File > Export for system log,  as described in this article https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2005715 , what all is exported?

And, is this log info at all helpful if the VM is only frozen within the OS, such as an application  installed within the Windows VM that is using up all OS resources and causing to hang?

Ah ok. Guess I am a bit confused on the difference between Host system log and VM system logs?

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.
