Description Paul Applegate 2019-11-13 21:21:35 UTC
Description of problem:
The alert just popped up. I was not doing anything.
SELinux is preventing restorecon from 'write' accesses on the file /var/log/pcp/pmlogger/pmlogger_daily-K.log.

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

If you believe that restorecon should be allowed write access on the pmlogger_daily-K.log 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:
# ausearch -c 'restorecon' --raw | audit2allow -M my-restorecon
# semodule -X 300 -i my-restorecon.pp
