Fix Recommendation

Navigate to and open /etc/vmware-syslog/stig-vsphere-client.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-client/logs/access/localhost_access*"
Tag="client-access"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")
input(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/vmware/vsphere-client/logs/vsphere-client-runtime*"
Tag="client-runtime"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")

Check Contents

At the command prompt, execute the following command:

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

Expected result:

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