For example, if you set the maximum number of log files to 10, the numbering restarts at 0 after every 10 log files. The rotation of logs basically refers to the turnover of files, where the oldest files are deleted and replaced by new ones. What does it mean when logs are rotated too quickly?

On the other hand, the information in the logs can be lost if the logs are rotated too quickly that's why the idea is to change to the trivia setting only during troubleshooting or when you want to send the logs to VMware. If not, they will take up too much storage space. The Management agent (hostd), VirtualCenter Agent Service (vpxa), and VirtualCenter (vpxd) logs are automatically rotated and maintained to manage their growth. Some other sibling subdirectories include vsan-health, vsphere-ui, and vpostgres. The most important logs are in the vpxd subdirectory.

The main logs in a vCenter Server appliance are located in /var/log/vmware. Edit vCenter Server log settings vCenter Server logs
