vSphere UI produces a handful of logs that must be offloaded from the originating system. This information can then be used for diagnostic, forensic, or other purposes relevant to ensuring the availability and integrity of the hosted application.

Satisfies: SRG-APP-000358-WSR-000163, SRG-APP-000108-WSR-000166, SRG-APP-000125-WSR-000071
