Description
ESX Agent Manager has a number of logs that must be offloaded from the originating system. This information can then be used for diagnostic, forensics, or other purposes relevant to ensuring the availability and integrity of the hosted application. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000358-WSR-000163, SRG-APP-000125-WSR-000071

ℹ️ Check
At the command prompt, run the following command: # rpm -V VMware-visl-integration\|grep vmware-services-eam.conf\|grep "^..5......" If the command returns any output, this is a finding.

✔️ Fix
Navigate to and open: /etc/vmware-syslog/vmware-services-eam.conf Create the file if it does not exist. Set the contents of the file as follows: #eam.log input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/eam/eam.log" Tag="eam-main" Severity="info" Facility="local0") #eam web access logs input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/eam/web/localhost_access.log" Tag="eam-access" Severity="info" Facility="local0") #eam jvm logs input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/eam/jvm.log.stdout" Tag="eam-stdout" Severity="info" Facility="local0") input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/eam/jvm.log.stderr" Tag="eam-stderr" Severity="info" Facility="local0") #eam catalina logs input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/eam/web/catalina.log" Tag="eam-catalina" Severity="info" Facility="local0") #eam catalina localhost logs input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/eam/web/localhost.log" Tag="eam-catalina" Severity="info" Facility="local0") #eam firstboot logs input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/firstboot/eam_firstboot.py*.log" Tag="eam-firstboot" Severity="info" Facility="local0")
