Description Rahul Sundaram 2013-11-27 17:29:55 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/journalctl from 'read' accesses on the directory journal.

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

If you believe that journalctl should be allowed read access on the journal directory 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

Description of problem:
Configured systemd journal to be volatile, and started getting this error.

commit 97360e961bee281e4b561bbf5195d93bf56a97c8
Author: Miroslav Grepl <mgrepl>

    Allow journalctl running as ABRT to read /run/log/journal

Comment 4 Yannick Defais 2013-12-30 09:58:54 UTC
Description of problem:
Hi,

I set systemd journal in RAM using this conf:

/etc/systemd/journald.conf

[Journal]
Storage=volatile
#Compress=yes
#Seal=yes
#SplitMode=login
#SyncIntervalSec=5m
#RateLimitInterval=30s
#RateLimitBurst=1000
#SystemMaxUse=
#SystemKeepFree=
#SystemMaxFileSize=
RuntimeMaxUse=10M

I suspect SELinux policies conflict with it.

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2014-01-02 22:31:22 UTC
Well this is actually abrt being triggered and running journal to gather the log messages.
