dwalsh,

Can you recommend any changes here?

Collectd starts it's just failing since its not able to write to /var/log/collectd.log

Here's the module file we're using which has the added entries from audit2allow, is there something else I could be missing?

The collectd service is writing 

Filter subsystem: Built-in target `write': Dispatching value to all write plugins failed with status 2. 

to the journal, because no plugin (which supports a 'write' callback) is configured.
The network plugin supports the write callback, but isn't configured initially. So ideally we will have to disable the collectd plugin (see bug #753309 	) until it is configured properly.
Also:
http://mailman.verplant.org/pipermail/collectd/2011-June/004549.html

we could disable collectd by default and have it started during ovirt-post based on a value in /etc/default/ovirt

Good idea!
That will work on the short term.
