Doc Text:	.OpenSCAP scanner results no longer contain a lot of SELinux context error messages Previously, the OpenSCAP scanner logged the inability to get the SELinux context on the `ERROR` level even in situations where it is not a true error. Consequently, scanner results contained a lot of SELinux context error messages and both the `oscap` command-line utility and the `SCAP Workbench` graphical utility outputs were hard to read for that reason. The `openscap` packages have been fixed, and scanner results no longer contain a lot of SELinux context error messages.	Story Points:	---

SELinux Security Context probe produces a flood of annoying messages
that look like this:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openscap-1.2.17

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.oscap xccdf eval --oval-results --report xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_ospp42-draft.html --progress --profile xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_ospp42-draft /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel7-ds.xml
2. see the stderr
3.

Actual results:
A lot of "Can't get context" messages are written on stderr.

Expected results:
These messages are displayed only in DEVEL verbosity level.

This was fixed upstream in https://github.com/OpenSCAP/openscap/pull/1222

Comment 3 Marek Haicman 2018-10-18 11:17:16 UTC

Just a note (for testing purposes) this is triggered specifically by rule xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_selinux_confinement_of_daemons
