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.

190 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
191 type.
192
193 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
194
195 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
196 SELinux collectd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
197 collectd processes in as secure a method as possible.
198
199 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
200
201
202 collectd policy stores data with multiple different file context types
203 under the /var/log/collectd directory. If you would like to store the
204 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
205 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
206 /srv directory you would execute the following command:
207
208 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/log/collectd /srv/collectd
209 restorecon -R -v /srv/collectd
210
211 collectd policy stores data with multiple different file context types
212 under the /var/run/collectd directory. If you would like to store the
213 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
214 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
215 /srv directory you would execute the following command:
216
217 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/collectd /srv/collectd
218 restorecon -R -v /srv/collectd
219
220 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
221
222 SELinux defines the file context types for the collectd, if you wanted
223 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
224 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
225 storecon to put the labels on disk.
226
227 semanage fcontext -a -t collectd_script_tmp_t '/srv/mycollectd_con‐
228 tent(/.*)?'
229 restorecon -R -v /srv/mycollectd_content
230
231 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
232 match multiple files.
233
234 The following file types are defined for collectd:
235
236
237
238 collectd_content_t
239
240 - Set files with the collectd_content_t type, if you want to treat the
241 files as collectd content.
242
243
244
245 collectd_exec_t
246
247 - Set files with the collectd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
248 executable to the collectd_t domain.
249
250
251
252 collectd_htaccess_t
253
254 - Set files with the collectd_htaccess_t type, if you want to treat the
255 file as a collectd access file.
256
257
258
259 collectd_initrc_exec_t
260
261 - Set files with the collectd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
262 sition an executable to the collectd_initrc_t domain.
263
264
265
266 collectd_log_t
267
268 - Set files with the collectd_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
269 as collectd log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
270
271
272 Paths:
273 /var/log/collectd.log, /var/log/collectd(/.*)?, /var/log/col‐
274 lectd.json.log
275
276
277 collectd_ra_content_t
278
279 - Set files with the collectd_ra_content_t type, if you want to treat
280 the files as collectd read/append content.
281
282
283
284 collectd_rw_content_t
285
286 - Set files with the collectd_rw_content_t type, if you want to treat
287 the files as collectd read/write content.
288
289
290
291 collectd_script_exec_t
292
293 - Set files with the collectd_script_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
294 sition an executable to the collectd_script_t domain.
295
296
297
298 collectd_script_tmp_t
299
300 - Set files with the collectd_script_tmp_t type, if you want to store
301 collectd script temporary files in the /tmp directories.
302
303
304
305 collectd_unit_file_t
306
307 - Set files with the collectd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
308 the files as collectd unit content.
309
310
311
312 collectd_var_lib_t
313
314 - Set files with the collectd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
315 collectd files under the /var/lib directory.
316
317
318
319 collectd_var_run_t
320
321 - Set files with the collectd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
322 collectd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
323
324
325 Paths:
326 /var/run/collectd(/.*)?, /var/run/collectd.pid, /var/run/collectd-
327 unixsock
328
329
330 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
331 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
332 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
333 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
334
335
337 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
338 mappings.
339
340 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
341 process type is permissive.
342
343 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
344 icy modules.
345
346 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
347
348 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
349
350
351 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
352 icy settings.
