Powershell Script to Update Syslog Server in ESXi Cluster

Posted on by Jordansphere

The following script will update the syslog server of all Esxi hosts in a specific cluster

Two variables you’ll need to edit are $ClusterName and $SysLogSvr

# Variables
$ClusterName = "MyCluster"
$SysLogSvr = "udp://10.10.10.11:514"

$Cluster = Get-Cluster -Name $ClusterName

# Loop through each host and set syslog
foreach ($VMHost in ($Cluster | Get-VMHost ) ) {
	set-VMHostSysLogServer -VMhost $VMHost -SysLogServer  $SysLogSvr
    }
