Information

Syslog messages are typically unencrypted and may contain sensitive information and are, therefore, restricted to the enclave.

Solution

Step 1: Verify that the vSphere Syslog Collector syslog host has been configured. If not, install/enable the vSphere Syslog Collector.
 Step 2: From the vSphere Client: Select the host and click 'Configuration >> Advanced Settings >> Syslog >> Global'.
 Step 3: Set 'Syslog.global.logHost' to the syslog server hostname restricted to the enclave.
