With the release of vCenter Log Insight Public Beta (
http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/vcenter/vcenter-log-insight
) I thought I’d strike while the iron is hot and run through the installation and configuration.
Deploying the OVF
This is such a bread and butter task that it doesn’t require more than a few words – it’s definitely worth looking at the Sizing PDF before you deploy (
VMware-vCenter-Log-Insight-1.0-Beta-Virtual-Appliance-Sizing.pdf
) as it’s not small even for a test installation. If you’re using less than the recommended 8GB RAM there are additional steps to change the heap size for performance.
