vmware-.log
You can also find VM-specific logs on the hypervisor, in the storage location of the agent’s .vmx file. The This location is often /vmfs/volumes/xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx//, but may be different. The log files will be called vmware.log and will be incrementally numbered, such as vmware-23.log.
/var/log/hostd.log: Host management service logs, including virtual machine and host Task and Events, communication with the vSphere Client and vCenter Server vpxa agent, and SDK connections. Could cover a variety of issues.
——————–
/var/log/syslog.log: Management service initialization, watchdogs, scheduled tasks and DCUI use. May cover multiple issues.
/var/log/shell.log: ESXi Shell usage logs, including enable/disable and every command entered. For more information, see the Managing vSphere with Command-Line Interfaces section of the vSphere 5 Command Line documentation and Auditing ESXi Shell logins and commands in ESXi 5.x. Not likely needed.
