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

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

331
332 Paths:
333 /var/run/collectd(/.*)?, /var/run/collectd.pid, /var/run/collectd-
334 unixsock
335
336
337 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
338 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
339 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
340 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
341
342
344 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
345 mappings.
346
347 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
348 process type is permissive.
349
350 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
351 icy modules.
352
353 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
354
355 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
356
357
358 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
359 icy settings.
