Description of problem: Installed collectd and collectd-snmp. Configured to use snmp plugin and started collectd. Got selinux error. SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/collectd from 'write' accesses on the directory /var/lib/net-snmp/mib_indexes. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that collectd should be allowed write access on the mib_indexes 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 collectd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:collectd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:snmpd_var_lib_t:s0 Target Objects /var/lib/net-snmp/mib_indexes [ dir ] Source collectd Source Path /usr/sbin/collectd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages collectd-5.4.1-8.fc21.x86_64 Target RPM Packages net-snmp-libs-5.7.2-23.fc21.x86_64 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-105.3.fc21.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.18.7-200.fc21.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 11 21:53:17 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 3 First Seen 2015-03-05 20:40:11 CET Last Seen 2015-03-05 20:40:57 CET Local ID 30a5f019-1fc6-4e0d-83ab-86f2c262b27d Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1425584457.534:1034): avc: denied { write } for pid=8281 comm="collectd" name="mib_indexes" dev="dm-0" ino=917721 scontext=system_u:system_r:collectd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:snmpd_var_lib_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1425584457.534:1034): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7fff74f80a90 a1=241 a2=1b6 a3=241 items=0 ppid=1 pid=8281 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=collectd exe=/usr/sbin/collectd subj=system_u:system_r:collectd_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: collectd,collectd_t,snmpd_var_lib_t,dir,write Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-105.3.fc21.noarch Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.3.0 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.18.7-200.fc21.x86_64 type: libreport
