Description Rex Dieter 2013-12-12 03:52:35 UTC
Description of problem:
Configured systemd journal via
/etc/systemd/journald.conf
Storage=volatile

and (recently?) started to get this selinux error
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/journalctl from 'open' accesses on the file /run/log/journal/b531f59d0209d0264a4406bec155a198/system.journal.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that journalctl should be allowed open access on the system.journal file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep journalctl /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
