Fix Recommendation

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

Create the file if it does not exist.

Set the contents of the file as follows:

input(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/vmware/vsphere-ui/logs/access/localhost_access*"
Tag="ui-access"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")
input(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/vmware/vsphere-ui/logs/vsphere-ui-runtime*"
Tag="ui-runtime"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")

Check Contents

At the command prompt, execute the following command:

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

Expected result:

input(type="imfile"

File="/var/log/vmware/vsphere-ui/logs/access/localhost_access*"

Tag="ui-access"

Severity="info"

Facility="local0")

input(type="imfile"

File="/var/log/vmware/vsphere-ui/logs/vsphere-ui-runtime*"

Tag="ui-runtime"

Severity="info"

Facility="local0")

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