RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Martin Krajnak 2019-06-14 12:18:47 UTC 
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/platform-python3.6 from open access on the file /var/log/hawkey.log.

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

If you believe that platform-python3.6 should be allowed open access on the hawkey.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 'rhsmcertd-worke' --raw | audit2allow -M my-rhsmcertdworke
# semodule -X 300 -i my-rhsmcertdworke.pp

This bug is still alive in RHEL 8.3


SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/platform-python3.6 from add_name access on the directory /var/log/hawkey.log.

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

If you believe that platform-python3.6 should be allowed add_name access on the hawkey.log 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:
# ausearch -c 'rhsmcertd-worke' --raw | audit2allow -M my-rhsmcertdworke # semodule -X 300 -i my-rhsmcertdworke.pp

Red Hat Enterprise Linux IS a regression.
Just pathetic.

Red Hat Insights is supposed to highlight and reveal issues on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems am i right?

So instead all it does is spam logs with selinux false alarms, thus hiding other real issues which may be present.


Truly BRILLIANT work Red Hat.
Superb own goal, shoot self in foot, stab eye with fork, however you want to put it.

I've been using Red Hat systems for 20 years now, but you guys never cease to amaze me.
Comment 24 John 2022-07-29 05:06:22 UTC 
Sorry, my earlier comment implied insights-client was responsible for the hawkey.log accesses, but no, the insights-client is giving me problems with other files.

the hawkey.log is being accessed y rhsmcertd-worker, as mentioned earlier in this bugreport.

And FYI my rhsmcertd-worker also getting read, open, getattr and ioctl denied on /etc/insights-client/machine-id

These Red Hat "tools" are just utterly useless, if Red Hat cannot even get them to work properly and quietly under selinux.
It's just hopeless.

How Red Hat can fail to get their own tools working on their own OS, it just blows my mind.
