Monitor Hosts That Send Log Events

You can view a list of all hosts and devices that send log events to VMware Aria Operations for Logs and monitor them.

Entries in host tables expire three months after the last ingested event.

Prerequisites

Verify that you are logged in to the VMware Aria Operations for Logs web user interface as a Super Admin user, or a user associated with a role that has the relevant permissions. See Create and Modify Roles for more information.

Procedure

• ♦ Expand the main menu and navigate to Management > Hosts.
  Note: If you have configured a vCenter Server to send events and alarms, but have not configured the individual ESXi hosts to send logs, the Hostname column lists both the vCenter Server and the individual ESXi hosts as the source instead of listing just the vCenter Server.

What to do next

Users with a Super Admin role or relevant privileges can set up a system notification that is sent when hosts have been inactive. For more information, see Configure a System Notification to Report on Inactive Hosts.
