As an elevated user on the Tomcat server: Edit the $CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml file. Review for all <Host> elements. If a <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" .../> element is not nested within each <Host> element, this is a finding. EXAMPLE: <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false"> ... <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs" prefix="localhost_access_log" suffix=".txt" pattern="%h %l %t %u &quot;%r&quot; %s %b" /> ... </Host>

As a privileged user on the Tomcat server: Edit the $CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml file. Create a <Valve> element that is nested beneath the <Host> element containing an AccessLogValve. EXAMPLE: <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false"> ... <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs" prefix="localhost_access_log" suffix=".txt" pattern="%h %l %t %u &quot;%r&quot; %s %b" /> ... </Host> Restart the Tomcat server: sudo systemctl restart tomcat sudo systemctl daemon-reload
