Prism Element is configured by default for the Envoy proxy services with logging level of "info". If this control is a finding, then some corruption has occurred and the VM must be rebuilt.

Check Contents

Verify Prism Element enables logging upon startup of Envoy proxy services by running the following command:

$ ps -ef | grep ikat_proxy.out
nutanix 68158 1 0 Oct10 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash -lc /home/nutanix/bin/service_monitor --run_as_user=apache /home/nutanix/data/logs/ikat_proxy.FATAL -- /usr/local/nutanix/ikat_proxy/bin/envoy -c /home/nutanix/config/ikat_proxy/envoy.yaml --disable-hot-restart --concurrency 4 |& /home/nutanix/bin/logpipe -o /home/nutanix/data/logs/ikat_proxy.out
nutanix 68376 68158 0 Oct10 ? 00:00:01 /home/nutanix/bin/logpipe -o /home/nutanix/data/logs/ikat_proxy.out

If the output of "ikat_proxy.out" does not list the path as "/home/nutanix/data/logs/ikat_proxy.out", or if there is no output, this is a finding.
