Date, time, and environmental variables may vary depending on your environment. In the /var/log/vmware/syslog/syslog-health.log file, you see entries similar to:Sender UxSockSendStrategy(/bin/logger) initialized.Pinger thread started.Storage monitoring thread started.Ping failed. host: host_ip, port: 514 - Connection refusedRsyslog ping receiver startedstart: vmware-syslog-health started successfullyPing failed. host: host_ip, port: 514 - Connection refusedPing failed. host: host_ip, port: 514 - Connection refusedPing failed. host: host_ip, port: 514 - Connection refusedPing failed. host: host_ip, port: 514 - Connection refusedPing failed. host: host_ip, port: 514 - Connection refused
This issue occurs because the /etc/vmware-syslog/vmware-syslog-health.properties file is not automatically updated after the syslog settings are modified through the vSphere Client.
To work around this issue, manually update the /etc/vmware-syslog/vmware-syslog-health.properties file. To manually update the /etc/vmware-syslog/vmware-syslog-health.properties file: Open the console for the vCenter Server Appliance and log in using root credentials. Type shell.set --enabled = True and press Enter. Type shell and press Enter. Navigate to the /etc/vmware-syslog/ folder by running this command:cd /etc/vmware-syslog/ Create a backup of the vmware-syslog-health.properties file by running this command:cp vmware-syslog-health.properties vmware-syslog-health.properties.bck Open the vmware-syslog-health.properties file using a text editor by running this command:vi vmware-syslog-health.properties Search for the cls.strata.ping.port= entry and update the port.For example:cls.strata.ping.port=515 Save and close the file. Reboot the vCenter Server Appliance.
