Description
Discussion Text
Without the ability to centrally manage the content captured in the audit records, identification, troubleshooting, and correlation of suspicious behavior would be difficult and could lead to a delayed or incomplete analysis of an ongoing attack.
The content captured in audit records must be managed from a central location (necessitating automation). Centralized management of audit records and logs provides for efficiency in maintenance and management of records, as well as the backup and archiving of those records.
VMware Postgres is capable of outputting directly to syslog but for performance reasons, the VCSA is configured to ship logs centrally via rsyslog file monitoring. To facilitate that configuration, log files must be generated to disk.
