We set up our ESXi hosts (all 6.0 at the moment) to point their syslog <br>
configs at our central syslog server, and then set up <syslog <br>
server>.msgs red & yellow alerts from what we get out of that. Crude <br>
but quasi-effective.<br>
<br>
(In case you've never set it up, ESXi hosts emit a FLOOD of syslog <br>
messages.)<br>
