Information

The vCenter Perfcharts service must have Autodeploy disabled.

GROUP ID: V-259095RULE ID: SV-259095r960963

Tomcat allows auto-deployment of applications while it is running. This can allow untested or malicious applications to be automatically loaded into production. Autodeploy must be disabled in production.

Solution

Navigate to and open:

/usr/lib/vmware-perfcharts/tc-instance/conf/server.xml

Navigate to the <Host> node and configure with the value "autoDeploy="false"".

Restart the service with the following command:

vmon-cli --restart perfcharts
