Description Ryan O'Hara 2016-12-05 14:51:04 UTC
When starting keepalived with SNMP enabled, keepalived fails to connect as a subagent due to AVC for "/var/agentx/master" UNIX socket:

# ausearch -m avc

Comment 1 Milos Malik 2016-12-05 16:59:17 UTC
Based on success=no exit=-13, the SELinux denial was caught in enforcing mode. Could you re-run the scenario in permissive mode and attach the resulting SELinux denials?

Comment 2 Ryan O'Hara 2016-12-05 18:56:29 UTC
In permissive mode:
