So I needed to find what log files were getting updated. The files where inC:\ProgramData\VMware\vCenterServer\logs and that folder has many many folders and I wasn’t sure which one would have the files I needed. I was sure that they would have been updated recently. So a quick little PowerShell to the rescue
Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Where {$_.LastWriteTime -gt (Get-Date).AddMinutes(-15)}
This returns all the files in the current folder and below that have been modified in the last 15 minutes. It is easy enough to change up to look for other criteria, like *.log files int he last 5 minutes
Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Filter *.log | Where {$_.LastWriteTime -gt (Get-Date).AddMinutes(-5)}
Or all files with pid in their name
Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Filter *pid*
Powershell can be very very handy in a pinch! Hope this helps
