This will grab the contents of all of the log files on your VirtualCenter server. Normally there will be eleven of them: logs zero through nine are rotated through at each service startup, and the index umm, I forget what’s in it. Anyway, here you go:
$log = Get-LogType | ? { $_.key -match "vpxd" } | % { Get-Log -Key $_.Key }
You may have to be patient. This took 175 seconds to run on my box.
And here’s how to get at the contents:
