Managing logs - VC, ESX, Guest - is a challenge that you have to address if you are be classed as a high performing center of excellence for VMware Infrastructure.

There are many methods and tools on the subject, but there are many folks who don't have a good grasp of the topic and some who don't think it's important: it is important! It's a core competency of running VMware Infrastructure.

I couldn't find a good, central resource on this topic and there are some folks out there in the vExpert community who are already thinking about this (Texiwill and Roger Lund for starters). So I have kicked off with a new community on VIOPS to focus these discussions around:

1. What are the requirements for log management?

2. What logs should be collected?

3. How should the logs be collected?

4. How should the logs be analysed?

5. Create a log management roadmap and benchmark

If you are interested in Log Management, perhaps you are a vendor with a solution, or a customer with a question - let's meet in the Logging zone!
