Host must deactivate log filtering

MoyenneNiveau 1Automatiséevmware

Description

Log filtering can be employed to diminish the frequency of repetitive log entries and to preclude specific log events entirely. By employing the Syslog.global.logFilters configuration parameter, one can stipulate filtering criteria, which when met, will cause the designated log events to be excluded from the system logs. The audit reads Syslog.global.logFiltersEnable with esxcli and requires false (0). Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.

Méthode de vérification

Méthode d'audit: Commande shell

shell

out=$(esxcli system settings advanced list -o /Syslog/global/logFiltersEnable 2>/dev/null) || exit 1
v=$(printf '%s\n' "$out" | awk '$1=="Int" && $2=="Value:" {print $3; exit}')
case "$v" in ''|*[!0-9-]*) echo '/Syslog/global/logFiltersEnable: no integer value'; exit 1 ;; esac
if [ "$v" -eq 0 ]; then echo compliant; else echo "/Syslog/global/logFiltersEnable = $v (expected false/0)"; fi

Sortie attendue: compliant

Méthode de correction

Méthode de correction: Recommandation ou correctif d'infrastructure

1. Disable log filtering 2. execute command: esxcli system syslog config logfilter set -- log-filtering-enabled=false 3. execute: Get-VMHost | Get-AdvancedSetting -Name "Syslog.global.logFiltersEnable" passing value is: False
