Fix Recommendation

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

Create the file if it does not exist.

Set the contents of the file as follows:

input(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/vmware/perfcharts/localhost_access_log.*.txt"
Tag="perfcharts-localhost_access"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")
input(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/vmware/perfcharts/vmware-perfcharts-runtime.log.std*"
Tag="perfcharts-runtime"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")

Check Contents

At the command prompt, execute the following command:

# grep -v "^#" /etc/vmware-syslog/stig-services-perfcharts.conf

Expected result:

input(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/vmware/perfcharts/localhost_access_log.*.txt"
Tag="perfcharts-localhost_access"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")
input(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/vmware/perfcharts/vmware-perfcharts-runtime.log.std*"
Tag="perfcharts-runtime"
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, this is a finding.
