vRealize Log lnsight delivers heterogeneous and highly scalable log management with actionable dashboards, analytics and broad third-party extensibility. It provides deep operational visibility and faster troubleshooting across the whole environment.

Content packs of built in or custom dashboards provide additional visibility into unstructured log data through collection of chart, field table, and query list widgets.

 

While it can act as a regular syslog target, it also provides agent based collection of log files, or events for applications that do not provide syslog message logging redirection. Agents are provided for Windows and Linux (RPM, DEB and BIN formats) operating systems.

Collection of logs from vCloud Director cells is much easier with the agent-based method: API request logs can be included, and the selection of log verbosity (info/debug) can be made centrally.
