For the host I set up in 'vilogger list' I see: 'Connection Failure' for hostd, messages, and vpxa. The location is set properly as /var/log/syslog/. Any ideas?

I'm getting some problems with this approach generating wayyy too many vim.event.UserLoginSessionEvent vim.event.UserLogoutSessionEvent entries in my vCenter databases. Is there a way to prevent these sessions from being logged in the vCenter DB? It's causing us to go over the 4GB limit for SQL Express and causing headaches to the point where I'm about to disable this and look for a cleaner solution. Help!
