Configure ESXi Syslog location via Ansible
To create this playbook I use ansible module called vmware_host_config_manager
Ansible documentation: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/vmware/vmware_host_config_manager_module.html
- Before start please install module.
2. Download playbook and secret file.
playbook >> ESXiSyslog
secret file >> secrets
3. ESXiSyslog looks like below and you need to use advance parameter Syslog.global.logDir to create scratch log location.
I add also some welcome massage by configure Annotations.WelcomeMessage parameter.
and host logging level by configure Config.HostAgent.log.level parameter.
4. Run playbook by ansible-playbook ansible/ESXiSyslog.yml
5. Lets check result.
– Syslog.global.logDir ” [NFS01]ESX-Logs”
– Annotations.WelcomeMessage “This system is for the use of authorized users only”
– Config.HostAgent.log.level “warning”
