VMware ESXi Logs

This was long overdue. Old post on YouTube, but this talks about VMware ESXi logs, log locations and the respective services that the logs belong to.

While this is just an introduction to logs, I plan on doing other videos to follow up that will talk about various scenarios with regards to debugging with logs

ESXi logs are stored at /var/log or /var/run/log depending on whether you want to take a look at in memory logs or logs on persistent storage

Below video is a primer on the sets of logs in the above location
