Explanation

On a vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA), the primary vCenter Server service is the vpxd daemon (VMware vCenter Server daemon). Its logs are stored at /var/log/vmware/vpxd/, making this the correct location for general vCenter Server logs. /var/log/messages contains general Linux OS-level syslog messages. /etc/vmware-vpx/ is a configuration directory, not a log directory. /var/log/vmware/vsan-health/ contains logs specific to the vSAN health service, not general vCenter logs.
