Description
Writing events to a centralized management audit system offers many benefits to the enterprise over having dispersed logs. Centralized management of audit records and logs provides for efficiency in maintenance and management of records, enterprise analysis of events, and backup and archiving of event records enterprise-wide. The web server and related components are required to be capable of writing logs to centralized audit log servers. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000358-WSR-000063, SRG-APP-000125-WSR-000071

By default, there is a vmware-services-rhttpproxy.conf rsyslog configuration file that includes the service logs when syslog is configured on vCenter, but it must be verified. At the command prompt, run the following command: # cat /etc/vmware-syslog/vmware-services-rhttpproxy.conf Expected result: #rhttpproxy log input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/rhttpproxy/rhttpproxy.log" Tag="rhttpproxy-main" Severity="info" Facility="local0" deleteStateOnFileDelete="on" reopenOnTruncate="on") #rhttpproxy init stdout input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/rhttpproxy/rproxy_init.log.stdout" Tag="rhttpproxy-stdout" Severity="info" Facility="local0" deleteStateOnFileDelete="on" reopenOnTruncate="on") #rhttpproxy init stderr input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/rhttpproxy/rproxy_init.log.stderr" Tag="rhttpproxy-stderr" Severity="info" Facility="local0" deleteStateOnFileDelete="on" reopenOnTruncate="on") Note: If the entries for "deleteStateOnFileDelete" and "reopenOnTruncate" do not exist, this is not a finding. If the output does not match the expected result, this is a finding.

Navigate to and open: /etc/vmware-syslog/vmware-services-rhttpproxy.conf Create the file if it does not exist. Set the contents of the file as follows: #rhttpproxy log input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/rhttpproxy/rhttpproxy.log" Tag="rhttpproxy-main" Severity="info" Facility="local0" deleteStateOnFileDelete="on" reopenOnTruncate="on") #rhttpproxy init stdout input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/rhttpproxy/rproxy_init.log.stdout" Tag="rhttpproxy-stdout" Severity="info" Facility="local0" deleteStateOnFileDelete="on" reopenOnTruncate="on") #rhttpproxy init stderr input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/rhttpproxy/rproxy_init.log.stderr" Tag="rhttpproxy-stderr" Severity="info" Facility="local0" deleteStateOnFileDelete="on" reopenOnTruncate="on")
