6 zabbix_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the zabbix pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the zabbix processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The zabbix processes execute with the zabbix_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep zabbix_t
20
21
22
24 The zabbix_t SELinux type can be entered via the zabbix_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the zabbix_t domain are the following:
28
29 /usr/bin/zabbix_server, /usr/sbin/zabbix_proxy, /usr/sbin/zab‐
30 bix_server, /usr/sbin/zabbix_proxy_mysql, /usr/sbin/zabbix_proxy_pgsql,
31 /usr/sbin/zabbix_server_mysql, /usr/sbin/zabbix_server_pgsql,
32 /usr/sbin/zabbix_proxy_sqlite3, /usr/sbin/zabbix_server_sqlite3
33
35 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
36 system
37
38 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
39
40 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
41 zabbix policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their zabbix
42 processes in as secure a method as possible.
43
44 The following process types are defined for zabbix:
45
46 zabbix_t, zabbix_agent_t, zabbix_script_t
47
48 Note: semanage permissive -a zabbix_t can be used to make the process
49 type zabbix_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
50 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
51 ated.
52
53
55 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. zabbix
56 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
57 manipulate the policy and run zabbix with the tightest access possible.
58
59
60
61 If you want to determine whether zabbix can connect to all TCP ports,
62 you must turn on the zabbix_can_network boolean. Disabled by default.
63
64 setsebool -P zabbix_can_network 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to allow Zabbix to run su/sudo, you must turn on the zab‐
69 bix_run_sudo boolean. Disabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P zabbix_run_sudo 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
76 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
79
80
81
83 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
84
85 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
86 command:
87
88 semanage port -l
89
90
91 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
92 SELinux zabbix policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
93 zabbix processes in as secure a method as possible.
94
95 The following port types are defined for zabbix:
96
97
98 zabbix_agent_port_t
99
100
101
102 Default Defined Ports:
103 tcp 10050
104
105
106 zabbix_port_t
107
108
109
110 Default Defined Ports:
111 tcp 10051
112
114 The SELinux process type zabbix_t can manage files labeled with the
115 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
116 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

186 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
187 type.
188
189 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
190
191 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
192 SELinux zabbix policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
193 zabbix processes in as secure a method as possible.
194
195 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
196
197
198 zabbix policy stores data with multiple different file context types
199 under the /var/lib/zabbix directory. If you would like to store the
200 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
201 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
202 /srv directory you would execute the following command:
203
204 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/zabbix /srv/zabbix
205 restorecon -R -v /srv/zabbix
206
207 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
208
209 SELinux defines the file context types for the zabbix, if you wanted to
210 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
211 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
212 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
213
214 semanage fcontext -a -t zabbix_var_run_t '/srv/myzabbix_content(/.*)?'
215 restorecon -R -v /srv/myzabbix_content
216
217 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
218 match multiple files.
219
220 The following file types are defined for zabbix:
221
222
223
224 zabbix_agent_exec_t

226 - Set files with the zabbix_agent_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
227 tion an executable to the zabbix_agent_t domain.

266
267
268
269 zabbix_script_exec_t

315
316
317
318 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
319 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
320 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
321 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
322
323
325 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
326 mappings.
327
328 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
329 process type is permissive.
330
331 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
332 icy modules.
333
334 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
335
336 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
337
338
339 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
340 icy settings.
