Export System Log Files
When the vSphere Client is connected to vCenter Server, you can select hosts from which to download system
log files.
To save diagnostic data for ESXi hosts and vCenter Server, the vSphere Client must be connected to the
vCenter Server system. If you are connected directly to an ESXi host, you can save diagnostic data only for that
specific ESXi host.
Required privileges:

To view diagnostic data: Read-Only User
