Fix Recommendation

Navigate to and open:

/etc/vmware-syslog/stig-services-eam.conf.

Create the file if it does not exist.

Set the contents of the file as follows:

input(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/vmware/eam/eam.log"
Tag="eam-main"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")
input(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/vmware/eam/web/localhost_access_log*.txt"
Tag="eam-access"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")
input(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/vmware/eam/jvm.log.std*"
Tag="eam-stdout"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")
input(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/vmware/eam/web/catalina*.log"
Tag="eam-catalina"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")
input(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/vmware/eam/web/localhost.*.log"
Tag="eam-catalina"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")
input(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/vmware/firstboot/eam_firstboot.py*.log"
Tag="eam-firstboot"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")
