Getting SELinux alerts when calling check_log via NRPE.

SELinux is preventing /bin/bash from read access on the file server.log.

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

If you believe that bash should be allowed read access on the server.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:
# grep check_log /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Set SELinux to Permissive

------------------------
# sealert -l c4008235-bcfe-4fe2-8e84-c3093b0052f4
------------------------
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/diff from open access on the file server.log.

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

If you believe that diff should be allowed open access on the server.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:
# grep diff /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

------------------------
grep diff /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mycheck_log
------------------------
module mycheck_log 1.0;

require {
	type nagios_system_plugin_t;
	type var_log_t;
	class file read;
}

------------------------
grep check_log /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mydiff
------------------------
module mydiff 1.0;

require {
	type nagios_system_plugin_t;
	type var_log_t;
	class file open;
}

------------------------

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -ivh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
2. yum install nagios-plugins-log-1.4.16-10.el6.x86_64
3. Configure check_log: command[check_jboss_log]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_log -F /var/log/jbossas/standalone/server.log -O /tmp/check_log.old -q WARN
3. On client: setenforce Permissive
4. From Nagios Core Server: sudo -u nagios /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 192.168.122.196 -c check_jboss_log

Actual results:
Description of problem

Expected results:
SELinux Policy should handle var_log_t
