Configure syslog forwarding in vCenter servers using Python

As a system administrator, it's essential to ensure that your vCenter servers are properly configured to collect and forward system logs to a central location for monitoring and analysis. In this blog, we'll explore how to configure syslog forwarding in vCenter servers using Python.

You can access the Python script from my GitHub repository:

In this blog, we've demonstrated how to get, test, and set syslog forwarding configuration in vCenter servers using Python. By following these steps, you can ensure that your vCenter servers are properly configured to collect and forward system logs to a central location for monitoring and analysis. Remember to replace the placeholders in the config file with your actual vCenter server names, syslog server IP address or hostname, port, and protocol.

Hope it was useful. Cheers!
