DESCRIPTION

14       This manual page describes the setroubleshootd program.
15
16       setroubleshootd  is  the  dbus  service  in  the setroubleshoot system.
17       setroubleshoot is used to diagnose SELinux denials and attempts to pro‐
18       vide  user  friendly  explanations  for a SELinux denial (e.g. AVC) and
19       recommendations for how one might adjust  the  system  to  prevent  the
20       denial in the future.
21
22       In  a  standard  configuration setroubleshoot is composed of two compo‐
23       nents, sealert and setroubleshootd.
24
25       setroubleshootd is a system daemon which runs with root privileges  and
26       listens  for  audit  events emitted from the kernel related to SELinux.
27       When the setroubleshootd daemon sees an SELinux AVC denial  it  runs  a
28       series of analysis plugins which examines the audit data related to the
29       AVC. It records the results of the analysis  and  signals  any  clients
30       which  have attached to the setroubleshootd daemon that a new alert has
31       been seen.
