Diagnostic settings are used to configure the streaming export of platform logs and metrics for a resource to a specified destination. You may configure up to five diagnostic settings to deliver various logs and data to different locations.

In this section, you’ll set up a diagnostic setting for your AVS environment to collect VMware syslogs. You will save these syslogs to a blob storage account so that you can look at the vCenter Server logs and analyze them for diagnostic purposes.

Prerequisites

The prerequisites are as follows:

  • An AVS environment with access to the vCenter and NSX-T Manager interfaces
  • An Azure storage account to save the logs to

The following logs are contained in the VMware syslogs:

  • NSX-T Data Center Distributed Firewall logs
  • NSX-T Manager logs
