Details
Logging must be started as soon as possible when a service starts and as late as possible 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:
/etc/vmware/vmware-vmon/svcCfgfiles/eam.json
Below the last line of the 'PreStartCommandArg' block, add the following line:
'StreamRedirectFile' : '%VMWARE_LOG_DIR%/vmware/eam/jvm.log',
Restart the appliance for changes to take effect.
