VMware recommends configuring syslog servers to avoid log flooding on the Edge appliances. When logging is enabled, logs are stored locally on the Edge appliance and consume space. If left unchecked, this can have a performance impact on the Edge appliance and can also result in the Edge appliance stopping due to lack of disk space.

1. Go to Home | Networking & Security | NSX Edge, and double click an Edge appliance, and navigate to Manage | Settings | Configuration:

2. Click Change in the Syslog servers row:

3. Enter the syslog server's IP address and select the Protocol as applicable. Click OK when done.
