If you use VMware vRealize Log Insight for log management in your environment and want to capture App Volume logs, read on.
1. Install the Log Insight Agent onto each App Volumes Manager that you have in your environment
2. Edit the following file in Notepad (Or any other text editor): %ProgramData%\VMware\Log Insight Agent\liagent.ini
3. Add the following lines to the bottom of the liagent.ini
[filelog|AppVol]
directory=C:\Program Files (x86)\CloudVolumes\Manager\log
exclude=svmanager_server.log
4. Save and restart the server (not 100% sure if a restart is required)
Once the App Volume Manager has been restarted you should start to see logs appear in Log Insight, as shown in the example below.

If running an agent version 2.5 or newer then no restart is required -- also consider configuring event_marker if multiline events are seen in the logs (have not checked).
Thanks Steve, I'll take a closer look at the logs and see if they are multiline. If they are, I'll make changes to this post.
