I have quite a few ESXi servers. I am just getting started with centralized logging using Splunk. I have done much research on this issue; if you make any change to syslog configuration values OR if there is ANY break in the communication between the host(s) and the syslog server, the syslog service needs to be reloaded on each ESXi host.
My question; is there a better/easier way for me to restart the syslog service on all of my ESXi hosts, then enabling SSH on each host, SSHing to each host and running the command esxcli system syslog reload?
There has to be a better way.
Thanks all!
