Host must set the logging informational level to info

MediaNivel 1Automatizadavmware

Descripción

Set the logging informational level to "info" via the Config.HostAgent.log.level parameter to ensure audit logs contain adequate data for diagnostics and forensics. This level provides a balanced amount of detail, suitable for routine analysis and investigation. The parameter governing this behavior is Config.HostAgent.log.level with a recommended setting of info. The audit reads Config.HostAgent.log.level with esxcli and requires info. Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.

Cómo se verifica

out=$(esxcli system settings advanced list -o /Config/HostAgent/log/level 2>/dev/null) || exit 1
v=$(printf '%s\n' "$out" | sed -n 's/^ *String Value: *//p' | head -n 1)
if [ "$v" = info ]; then echo compliant; else echo "/Config/HostAgent/log/level = '$v' (expected info)"; fi

Salida esperada: compliant
