The rsyslog must be configured to monitor VAMI logs.

Description
For performance reasons, rsyslog file monitoring is preferred over configuring VAMI to send events to a syslog facility. Without ensuring that logs are created, rsyslog configs are created, and those configs are loaded, the log file monitoring and shipping will not be effective. VAMI syslog configuration is included by default as part of the VMware-visl-integration package. The shipping state of the configuration file must be verified and maintained. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000125-WSR-000071, SRG-APP-000358-WSR-000063, SRG-APP-000358-WSR-000163
