Yesterday I posted about the article on the hostd, vpxa and vpxd log file options. Today another KB article has been released to setup a rotation scheme for the VM’s log file: vmware.log. Might be worth checking it out and setting it up. You need to change the VM’s vmx file for this to work though. In short:
logging = true or false
log.rotateSize = maximum size in bytes the file can grow to: 10000
log.keepOld = rotation level, amount of log files to keep: 10
log.fileName = change name and path of log file

how i can use the log.rotateSize option in ESXI 5.1? or any other way to set the roteSize in vsphere 5.1
