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 all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
76 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to support ecryptfs home directories, you must turn on the
83 use_ecryptfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
84
85 setsebool -P use_ecryptfs_home_dirs 1
86
87
88
90 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
91
92 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
93 command:
94
95 semanage port -l
96
97
98 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
99 SELinux collectd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
100 collectd processes in as secure a method as possible.
101
102 The following port types are defined for collectd:
103
104
105 collectd_port_t
106
107
108
109 Default Defined Ports:
110 udp 25826
111
113 The SELinux process type collectd_t can manage files labeled with the
114 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
115 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

175 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
176 type.
177
178 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
179
180 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
181 SELinux collectd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
182 collectd processes in as secure a method as possible.
183
184 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
185
186
187 collectd policy stores data with multiple different file context types
188 under the /var/log/collectd directory. If you would like to store the
189 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
190 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
191 /srv directory you would execute the following command:
192
193 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/log/collectd /srv/collectd
194 restorecon -R -v /srv/collectd
195
196 collectd policy stores data with multiple different file context types
197 under the /var/run/collectd directory. If you would like to store the
198 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
199 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
200 /srv directory you would execute the following command:
201
202 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/collectd /srv/collectd
203 restorecon -R -v /srv/collectd
204
205 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
206
207 SELinux defines the file context types for the collectd, if you wanted
208 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
209 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
210 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
211
212 semanage fcontext -a -t collectd_script_tmp_t '/srv/mycollectd_con‐
213 tent(/.*)?'
214 restorecon -R -v /srv/mycollectd_content
215
216 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
217 match multiple files.
218
219 The following file types are defined for collectd:
220
221
222
223 collectd_content_t
224
225 - Set files with the collectd_content_t type, if you want to treat the
226 files as collectd content.
227
228
229
230 collectd_exec_t
231
232 - Set files with the collectd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
233 executable to the collectd_t domain.
234
235
236
237 collectd_htaccess_t
238
239 - Set files with the collectd_htaccess_t type, if you want to treat the
240 file as a collectd access file.
241
242
243
244 collectd_initrc_exec_t
245
246 - Set files with the collectd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
247 sition an executable to the collectd_initrc_t domain.
248
249
250
251 collectd_log_t
252
253 - Set files with the collectd_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
254 as collectd log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
255
256
257 Paths:
258 /var/log/collectd.log, /var/log/collectd(/.*)?, /var/log/col‐
259 lectd.json.log
260
261
262 collectd_ra_content_t
263
264 - Set files with the collectd_ra_content_t type, if you want to treat
265 the files as collectd read/append content.
266
267
268
269 collectd_rw_content_t
270
271 - Set files with the collectd_rw_content_t type, if you want to treat
272 the files as collectd read/write content.
273
274
275
276 collectd_script_exec_t
277
278 - Set files with the collectd_script_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
279 sition an executable to the collectd_script_t domain.
280
281
282
283 collectd_script_tmp_t
284
285 - Set files with the collectd_script_tmp_t type, if you want to store
286 collectd script temporary files in the /tmp directories.
287
288
289
290 collectd_unit_file_t
291
292 - Set files with the collectd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
293 the files as collectd unit content.
294
295
296
297 collectd_var_lib_t
298
299 - Set files with the collectd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
300 collectd files under the /var/lib directory.
301
302
303
304 collectd_var_run_t
305
306 - Set files with the collectd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the

308
309
310 Paths:
311 /var/run/collectd(/.*)?, /var/run/collectd.pid, /var/run/collectd-
312 unixsock
313
314
315 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
316 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
317 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
318 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
319
320
322 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
323 mappings.
324
325 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
326 process type is permissive.
327
328 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
329 icy modules.
330
331 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
332
333 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
334
335
336 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
337 icy settings.
