19 Improved Auditability of ESXi Admin Actions Prior to 6.0, actions taken at the vcenter level by a named user would show up in ESXi logs with the vpxuser username. [user=vpxuser] This made for difficult forensic tracking of user actions. In 6.0, all actions taken at vcenter against an ESXi server now show up in the ESXi logs with the vcenter username [user=vpxuser:corp\administrator] 19
