well this was a very informative answer (thank you!) but it did not really actually answer my question Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
If an esxi host is configured with scratch space - what gets stored there (whether "there" is a ram disk or a datastore)? Is it ALL of the logging that may otherwise be sent to syslog? And on that same server - if I then ALSO configure syslog, is the scratch space being used AND the same information is being sent to syslog?
Would it make sense to configure a host with ONLY syslog, leaving scratch un-configured. Would any information NOT be captured in syslog, that would have been captured in scratch?
