notification
At least one of the monitored log files has read-only permissions or has
incorrect user/group ownership on Manager, Global Manager, Edge, Public
Cloud Gateway, KVM or Linux Physical Server nodes. Or log folder is
missing in Windows Physical Server nodes. Or rsyslog.log is
missing on Manager, Global Manager, Edge or Public Cloud Gateway nodes.
          
Action required:
1. On Manager and Global Managaer nodes, Edge and Public Cloud Gateway
nodes, Ubuntu KVM Host nodes ensure the permissions for the /var/log
directory is 775 and the ownership is root:syslog. One Rhel KVM and BMS
Host nodes ensure the permission for the /var/log directory is 755 and
the ownership is root:root.
2. On Manager and Global Manager nodes, ensure the file permissions
for auth.log, nsx-audit.log, nsx-audit-write.log, rsyslog.log and syslog
under /var/log is 640 and ownership is syslog:admin.
3. On Edge and Public Cloud Gateway nodes, ensure the file permissions
for rsyslog.log and syslog under /var/log is 640 and ownership is
syslog:admin.
4. On Ubuntu KVM Host and Ubuntu Physical Server nodes, ensure the
file permissions of auth.log and vmware/nsx-syslog under /var/log is
640 and ownership is syslog:admin.
5. On Rhel KVM Host nodes and Centos/Rhel/Sles Physical Server nodes,
ensure the file permission of vmware/nsx-syslog under /var/log is 640
and ownership is root:root.
6. If any of these files have incorrect permissions or ownership, invoke
the commands `chmod <mode> <path>` and `chown <user>:<group> <path>`.
7. If rsyslog.log is missing on Manager, Global Manager, Edge or Public
Cloud Gateway nodes, invoke the NSX CLI command `restart service syslog`
which restarts the logging service and regenerates /var/log/rsyslog.log.
8. On Windows Physical Server nodes, ensure the log folder:
C:\ProgramData\VMware\NSX\Logs exists. If not, re-install NSX on the
Windows Physical Server nodes.
