collectd_selinux(8)  collectd SELinux Policy documentation collectd_selinux(8)

NAME
       collectd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the collectd pro‐
       cesses

DESCRIPTION
       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the  collectd  processes	 via  flexible
       mandatory access control.

BOOLEANS
       SELinux	policy	is  customizable based on least access required.  col‐
       lectd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that	 allow
       you  to manipulate the policy and run collectd with the tightest access
       possible.

       If you want to allow collectd to connect to the network using TCP,  you
       must turn on the collectd_can_network_connect boolean.

       setsebool -P collectd_can_network_connect 1

NSSWITCH DOMAIN
FILE CONTEXTS
       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
       type.

       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls

       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to	 these	files.
       SELinux	collectd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
       collectd processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following file types are defined for collectd:

       collectd_exec_t

       - Set files with the collectd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
       executable to the collectd_t domain.

       collectd_initrc_exec_t

       -  Set files with the collectd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
       sition an executable to the collectd_initrc_t domain.

       collectd_unit_file_t

       - Set files with the collectd_unit_file_t type, if you  want  to	 treat
       the files as collectd unit content.

       collectd_var_lib_t

       -  Set files with the collectd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
       collectd files under the /var/lib directory.

       collectd_var_run_t

       - Set files with the collectd_var_run_t type, if you want to store  the
       collectd files under the /run directory.

       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
       If you want to permanantly change the file context you need to use  the
       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

PROCESS TYPES
       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
       system

       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps

       Policy  governs	the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
       collectd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their collectd
       processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following process types are defined for collectd:

       collectd_t

       Note: semanage permissive -a PROCESS_TYPE can be used to make a process
       type permissive. Permissive process types  are  not  denied  access  by
       SELinux. AVC messages will still be generated.

COMMANDS
       semanage	 fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
       mappings.

       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or	not  a
       process type is permissive.

       semanage	 module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
       icy modules.

       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans

       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
       icy settings.
