Viewing a Log of a Virtual Machine’s Events
A log of the 25 most recent virtual machine events is available. Click the Users and
Events tab. The Users and Events page appears.
The Events list displays a log of the most recent actions or events recorded in the
virtual machine, such as the questions GSX Server asks, any errors and the powering
on or off the virtual machine. Events appear in reverse chronological order; that is, the
most recent events appear first in the list.
The event log draws its data from the log file for the virtual machine's configuration
file. The log file is stored, by default, in the virtual machine's directory. On a Windows
host, this directory is
<installdrive>:\Virtual Machines\<guestOS>
.
On a Linux host, this directory is
/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/<guestOS>
.
Sometimes you see a waiting for input message appears as a link in the Display Name
column. This link appears when you perform an action in the management interface
that prompts the virtual machine to generate a message; you must respond to the
message before the virtual machine can proceed. When you click that link, a prompt
appears, where you can enter a response. After you provide your answer, the prompt
closes. Your response appears in the
Events list.
The log shows the date and time the event occurred and an explanation of the event.
Some events have a symbol associated with them that corresponds to the type of
event that occurred.
