Fix Recommendation

Navigate to and open /etc/vmware-syslog/stig-services-vpostgres.conf.

Create the file if it does not exist.

Set the contents of the file as follows:

input(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/vmware/vpostgres/serverlog.std*"
Tag="vpostgres-first"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")

input(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/vmware/vpostgres/postgresql-*.log"
Tag="vpostgres"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")

Check Contents

At the command prompt, execute the following command:

# cat /etc/vmware-syslog/stig-services-vpostgres.conf

Expected result:

input(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/vmware/vpostgres/serverlog.std*"
Tag="vpostgres-first"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")

input(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/vmware/vpostgres/postgresql-*.log"
Tag="vpostgres"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")

If the file does not exist, this is a finding.

If the output of the command does not match the expected result above, this is a finding.

If there is no output from the command, vPostgres will default to "stderr", and this is not a finding.
