Description
For performance reasons, "rsyslog" file monitoring is preferred over configuring VMware Postgres to send events to a "syslog" facility. Without ensuring that logs are created, that "rsyslog" configs are created, and that those configs are loaded, the log file monitoring and shipping will not be effective. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000359-DB-000319, SRG-APP-000360-DB-000320, SRG-APP-000515-DB-000318
