You can use the vSphere Replication logs for system monitoring and troubleshooting. A VMware support engineer might request these logs during a support call.

To access and download the vSphere Replication logs, you need access to the vSphere Replication virtual appliance management interface (VAMI). vSphere Replication rotates its logs when the log file reaches 50MB and keeps at most 12 compressed log files.

To manually copy log files, see Manually Access the vSphere Replication Logs.

Prerequisites

  • Verify that the vSphere Replication appliance is powered on.
  • Verify that you have administrator privileges to configure the vSphere Replication appliance.

Procedure
