Collecting Diagnostic Information for VMware ESXi and

Collect Diagnostic Information for VMware ESXi

VMware technical support staff routinely requests diagnostic information from you when a support request is addressed. This
diagnostic information contains product-specific logs and configuration files from the host on which the product is running.
This information is gathered using a specific script or tool within the product.

This section provides procedures for obtaining diagnostic information for an ESXi or ESX host using the vm-support
command-line utility.

1. Open a console to the ESXi host.

2. Run the command

vm-support.

Note: You can specify additional options to customize the log bundle collection. Run the vm-support -h command to see a list
of the options available for a specific version of ESXi or ESX.

3. A compressed bundle of logs is produced and stored in a file with a .tgz extension. The file is stored in one of these

locations:

• /var/tmp/

• /var/log/

• The current working directory

4. After the log bundle has been collected and downloaded to a client, upload the logs to the SFTP or FTP site. For more

information, see

Uploading Diagnostic Information to VMware (1008525)

Note: You can obtain diagnostic information from ESX and ESXi hosts using the vSphere or VMware Infrastructure (VI)
Client. See the VMware knowledgebase article at
