Discussion

Lookup Service produces several 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-000108-WSR-000166, SRG-APP-000125-WSR-000071

Check Content

At the command prompt, run the following command:

# rpm -V VMware-visl-integration|grep vmware-services-lookupsvc.conf

If the above command returns any output, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Navigate to and open:

/etc/vmware-syslog/vmware-services-lookupsvc.conf

Create the file if it does not exist.

Set the contents of the file as follows:

#localhost_access_log
input(type="imfile"
      File="/var/log/vmware/lookupsvc/tomcat/localhost_access.log"
      Tag="lookupsvc-localhost_access"
      Severity="info"
      Facility="local0")
#lookupsvc_stream.log.std
input(type="imfile"
      File="/var/log/vmware/lookupsvc/lookupsvc_stream.log.std*"
      Tag="lookupsvc-std"
      Severity="info"
      Facility="local0")
#lookupserver-default

      File="/var/log/vmware/lookupsvc/lookupserver-default.log"
