VCLD-70-000005 - VAMI must generate log records for system startup and shutdown.
Information
Logging must be started as soon as possible when a service starts and when a service is stopped. Many forms of suspicious actions can be detected by analyzing logs for unexpected service starts and stops. Also, by starting to log immediately after a service starts, it becomes more difficult for suspicious activity to go unlogged.Solution
Navigate to and open:/opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
Add or reconfigure the following value:
server.errorlog = '/opt/vmware/var/log/lighttpd/error.log'
Restart the service with the following command:
# vmon-cli --restart applmgmt
