Configuring the Logs
vCenter Server Heartbeat allows you to change the default location for the logs used for storing data in the
queue.
Configuring the Message Queue Logs
The server temporarily stores replication data received in the passive server’s receive queue and the replication
data waiting in the active server’s send queue in message queue logs.
This configuration only affects the local server. Logs can be in different locations on the Primary and
Secondary servers.
To configure the location of the message queue logs
1Click the Logs tab.
2Click Browse to navigate to the folder to store the message queue logs.
