1. Variables in
red
can be replaced with custom names or IP addresses. All red fields are
required.
2. Fields in

contain multiple options as follows:
"separator":

The general formula for the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) of an ESXi host is:
<hostname><separator><iterator>.<domain>
•
When using “-“ as the separator, the FQDN of an ESXi host is:
<hostname>-<iterator>.<domain> (i.e. host-01.vsphere.local)
•
When using “” as the separator, the FQDN of an ESXi host is:
<hostname><iterator>.<domain> (i.e. host01.vsphere.local)
"iterator":
•
ALPHA means that the first host starts with A, the second host with B, etc
•
NUMERIC_N means that the first host starts with “1”, the second host with “2”, etc
•
NUMERIC_NN means that the first host starts with “01”, the second host with “02”, etc

LOGINSIGHT means that Log Insight will be used as the log collection server. When
this option is used, "loginsightServer" and "loginsightHostname" must be filled out.
•

tion server. When this option is used, "syslogServerCSV” must be filled out.

Any value listed in http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones in
the TZ column is accepted as valid input.
