vMWare host warning sign
Hi,
I notice my host is showing a warning sign. Where do I go to check the logs on vMWare 6.7 for that specific host?

Hi Andrew,
Sorry it is yellow warning. In Events says Logging to storage has failed. Logs are no longer being stored locally on this host?
Where does logs get stored locally? If no local logging then ???

Yellow, Red, Events, Tasks, Summary.
Could you do me a favour and screenshot the error ?
Logs need to be stored on persistent storage. e.g. non flash, non USB or SD card.
otherwise logs are written to memory, and on a server reboot, all logs are lost.
It could be an initial setup problem (very common) or a datastore has gone down. (if it was used for logging)

It is unlikely that looking through the logs, will detail the reason for the Red Warning Sign!
