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.
