ESXi host: viewing logs

Posted on 11:36 PM by Unknown

Using a Web Browser
I found this on techhead.co.ukbut I will include the steps here to keep everything in one place.
  • Open your favorite Web Browser
  • Enter the following: https://<esxi ip address>/host
  • Enter the ESXi Host Root username/password

Pasted from <http://www.simonlong.co.uk/blog/2010/06/03/vmware-esxi-4-log-files/>


This makes looking at the logs a lot simpler, for me.
View the logs is a pain, this makes for viewing them quicker if you have the address of your esxi host bookmarked.
