Version-Release number of selected components: selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-128.12.fc22.noarch pcp-pmda-nginx-3.10.6-1.fc22.x86_64 nginx-1.8.0-10.fc22.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo dnf install nginx 2. create a file in /etc/nginx/default.d/nginx_status.conf with the following contents: location /nginx_status { stub_status on; access_log off; allow 127.0.0.1; allow ::1; deny all; } 3. sudo systemctl restart nginx.service 4. sudo dnf install "perl(LWP::UserAgent)" pcp-collector 5. sudo touch /var/lib/pcp/pmdas/nginx/.NeedInstall 6. sudo systemctl restart pmcd.service 7. pmval nginx.requests_count Actual results: [root@collector vagrant]# pmval nginx.requests_count metric: nginx.requests_count host: collector semantics: cumulative counter (converting to rate) units: count (converting to count / sec) samples: all pmval: pmFetch: Unknown or illegal metric identifier pmval: pmFetch: Unknown or illegal metric identifier pmval: pmFetch: Unknown or illegal metric identifier pmval: pmFetch: Unknown or illegal metric identifier The relevant line from /var/log/audit/audit.log: type=AVC msg=audit(1442242235.474:225): avc: denied { name_connect } for pid=532 comm="perl" dest=80 scontext=system_u:system_r:pcp_pmcd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:http_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket permissive=0 Expected results: [root@collector vagrant]# pmval nginx.requests_count metric: nginx.requests_count host: collector semantics: cumulative counter (converting to rate) units: count (converting to count / sec) samples: all 0.9982 0.9982 0.9981
