Performance Charts must generate log records for system startup and shutdown.

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Logging must be started as soon as possible when a service starts and 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. On the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA), the "vmware-vmon" service starts up the Java virtual machines (JVMs) for various vCenter processes, including Performance Charts, and the individual json config files control the early JVM logging. Ensuring these json files are configured correctly enables early Java "stdout" and "stderr" logging.
