Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I was trying to stop syslog from the vCenter GUI and the ESXi GUI but I am getting the following error, I am able to stop / start the NTP service just fine, so it really appears to be related to the syslog service.
this occurs on all my hosts running vCenter / ESXi 7.
vCenter7.0.1 Build:16858589
I sshed to the host and checked the service...
[root@ESX1:~] ps -Cc|grep vmsyslogd
17375454 17375454 grep grep vmsyslogd
17275879 17275879 vmsyslogd /bin/python /usr/lib/vmware/vmsyslog/bin/vmsyslogd.pyc start
17275878 17275878 wdog-17275879 /bin/python /usr/lib/vmware/vmsyslog/bin/vmsyslogd.pyc start
Looking at the vCenter logs
