Description
Envoy produces several logs that must be offloaded from the originating system. This information can then be used for diagnostic purposes, forensics purposes, or other purposes relevant to ensuring the availability and integrity of the hosted application. Envoy (rhttpproxy) rsyslog configuration is included in the "VMware-visl-integration" package and unpacked to "/etc/vmware-syslog/vmware-services-rhttpproxy.conf". Ensuring the package hashes are as expected also ensures the shipped rsyslog configuration is present and unmodified.
