( or logs can be collected natively by having your ESX send information over syslog to Splunk). </P> Fri, 21 May 2010 22:18:07 GMT dcroteau 2010-05-21T22:18:07Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-does-Splunk-work-with-Virtual-Center-vSphere-4/m-p/14012#M1353 <P>Does splunk (or how does splunk) work with Virtual Center (vSphere 4)? Since VI center is “logging” information from the individual ESX servers – is there a way to get that info into splunk? </P> Fri, 21 May 2010 22:17:12 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-does-Splunk-work-with-Virtual-Center-vSphere-4/m-p/14012#M1353 dcroteau 2010-05-21T22:17:12Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-does-Splunk-work-with-Virtual-Center-vSphere-4/m-p/14013#M1354 <P>The answer is this – VC doesn’t scale, so we directly collect the metrics and logging information from the hosts themselves, via the vMA.
