NAME

6       collectd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the collectd pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the  collectd  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  collectd  processes  execute with the collectd_t SELinux type. You
14       can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps  com‐
15       mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep collectd_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The collectd_t SELinux type can be entered via the collectd_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the collectd_t domain are the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/sbin/collectd
31

PROCESS TYPES

33       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34       system
35
36       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37
38       Policy governs the access confined processes have  to  files.   SELinux
39       collectd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their collectd
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for collectd:
43
44       collectd_t, collectd_script_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a collectd_t can be used to make the process
47       type  collectd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48       process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still  gener‐
49       ated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is  customizable based on least access required.  col‐
54       lectd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that  allow
55       you  to manipulate the policy and run collectd with the tightest access
56       possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to determine whether collectd can connect  to  the  network
61       using  TCP,  you must turn on the collectd_tcp_network_connect boolean.
62       Disabled by default.
63
64       setsebool -P collectd_tcp_network_connect 1
65
66
67
68       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
69       ldap  rather  then  using  a  sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
70       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
71
72       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
73
74
75
76       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
77       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
78
79       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
80
81
82
83       If  you  want  to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
84       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
85
86       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
87
88
89
90       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
91       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
92
93       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
94
95
96
97       If  you  want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
98       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
99
100       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
101
102
103
104       If you want to support ecryptfs home directories, you must turn on  the
105       use_ecryptfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
106
107       setsebool -P use_ecryptfs_home_dirs 1
108
109
110

PORT TYPES

112       SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
113
114       You  can  see  the  types associated with a port by using the following
115       command:
116
117       semanage port -l
118
119
120       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  ports.
121       SELinux  collectd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
122       collectd processes in as secure a method as possible.
123
124       The following port types are defined for collectd:
125
126
127       collectd_port_t
128
129
130
131       Default Defined Ports:
132                 udp 25826
133

MANAGED FILES

135       The SELinux process type collectd_t can manage files labeled  with  the
136       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
137       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

195       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
196       type.
197
198       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
199
200       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
201       SELinux collectd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup  their
202       collectd processes in as secure a method as possible.
203
204       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
205
206
207       collectd  policy stores data with multiple different file context types
208       under the /var/run/collectd directory.  If you would like to store  the
209       data  in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
210       ate an equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this data under the
211       /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
212
213       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/collectd /srv/collectd
214       restorecon -R -v /srv/collectd
215
216       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
217
218       SELinux  defines the file context types for the collectd, if you wanted
219       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
220       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
221       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
222
223       semanage fcontext  -a  -t  collectd_script_tmp_t  '/srv/mycollectd_con‐
224       tent(/.*)?'
225       restorecon -R -v /srv/mycollectd_content
226
227       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
228       match multiple files.
229
230       The following file types are defined for collectd:
231
232
233
234       collectd_content_t
235
236       - Set files with the collectd_content_t type, if you want to treat  the
237       files as collectd content.
238
239
240
241       collectd_exec_t
242
243       - Set files with the collectd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
244       executable to the collectd_t domain.
245
246
247
248       collectd_htaccess_t
249
250       - Set files with the collectd_htaccess_t type, if you want to treat the
251       file as a collectd access file.
252
253
254
255       collectd_initrc_exec_t
256
257       -  Set files with the collectd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
258       sition an executable to the collectd_initrc_t domain.
259
260
261
262       collectd_log_t
263
264       - Set files with the collectd_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
265       as collectd log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
266
267
268
269       collectd_ra_content_t
270
271       -  Set  files with the collectd_ra_content_t type, if you want to treat
272       the files as collectd read/append content.
273
274
275
276       collectd_rw_content_t
277
278       - Set files with the collectd_rw_content_t type, if you want  to  treat
279       the files as collectd read/write content.
280
281
282
283       collectd_script_exec_t
284
285       -  Set files with the collectd_script_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
286       sition an executable to the collectd_script_t domain.
287
288
289
290       collectd_script_tmp_t
291
292       - Set files with the collectd_script_tmp_t type, if you want  to  store
293       collectd script temporary files in the /tmp directories.
294
295
296
297       collectd_unit_file_t
298
299       -  Set  files  with the collectd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
300       the files as collectd unit content.
301
302
303
304       collectd_var_lib_t
305
306       - Set files with the collectd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store  the
307       collectd files under the /var/lib directory.
308
309
310
311       collectd_var_run_t
312
313       -  Set files with the collectd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
314       collectd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
315
316
317       Paths:
318            /var/run/collectd(/.*)?, /var/run/collectd.pid, /var/run/collectd-
319            unixsock
320
321
322       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
323       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
324       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
325       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
326
327

COMMANDS

329       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
330       mappings.
331
332       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
333       process type is permissive.
334
335       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
336       icy modules.
337
338       semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
339
340       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
341
342
343       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
344       icy settings.
