Send logs from ESX to remote syslog

On fresh install ESXi 7.0 U2 you just need two commands:

esxcli system syslog config set --loghost='udp://192.168.1.28:514'
esxcli network firewall ruleset set --ruleset-id=syslog --enabled=true

First line configures address of remote syslog server - of course you have to change 192.168.1.28 to yours server IP.

Second one opens required ports on firewall.
