Description of problem:
Alert appears when starting cockpit in the browser.
SELinux is preventing cockpit-wsinsta from 'getattr' accesses on the filesystem /.

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

If you believe that cockpit-wsinsta should be allowed getattr access on the  filesystem 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 'cockpit-wsinsta' --raw | audit2allow -M my-cockpitwsinsta
# semodule -X 300 -i my-cockpitwsinsta.pp
