A few weeks back I needed to find the syslog settings for vCloud Director using the vCloud API for some testing, but after a bit of browsing through the vCloud API Reference, I was not able to find it.
I reached out to fellow colleague Timo Sugliani who has done some fantastic work with the vCloud API and he was able to help me locate the proper API call. It turns out the vCloud Director general settings is actually located under /admin/extension API section and I had thought it was somewhere under /admin. Using either REST Client or cURL, you can perform a GET operation to retrieve the syslog settings as well as other general settings using the following URL:
Here is a screenshot of the results which you can see maps back to the settings shown in the above screenshot:
For more details on the properties, you can refer to the vCloud API Reference guide for the general settings here. Hopefully this quick tidbit will come in handy for anyone looking for syslog or other general settings using the vCloud API. Big thanks to Timo for his help!
