View Log Files
View creates log files that record the installation and operation of its components.
NOTE View log files are intended for use by VMware Support. VMware recommends that you configure
and use the event database to monitor View. For more information, see the View Installation and View
Integration documents.

View TCP and UDP Ports
View uses TCP and UDP ports for network access between its components.
During installation, View can optionally configure Windows firewall rules to open the ports that are used by
default. If you change the default ports after installation, you must manually reconfigure Windows firewall
rules to allow access on the updated ports. See "Replacing Default Ports for View Services" in the View
Installation document.
