Viewing a Log of a Virtual Machine’s Events
A log of the 15 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 VMware ESX Server asks, errors and other
events like the powering on or off of the virtual machine. The events appear in reverse
chronological order.
The event log draws its data from the log file for the virtual machine's configuration
file stored, by default, in the virtual machine's directory,
<homedir>/vmware/<guestOS>.
