Discussion

Web servers provide numerous processes, features, and functionalities that use TCP/IP ports. Some of these processes may be deemed unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production system. The ports that Performance Charts listens on are configured in the "catalina.properties" file and must be verified as accurate to their shipping state.

Check Content

At the command prompt, run the following command:

# grep '^bio\.' /usr/lib/vmware-perfcharts/tc-instance/conf/catalina.properties

Expected result:

bio.http.port=13080

If the output of the command does not match the expected result, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Navigate to and open:

/etc/vmware-eam/catalina.properties

Navigate to the ports specification section.

Add or modify the following lines:

bio.http.port=13080

Restart the service with the following command:

# vmon-cli --restart perfcharts
