6 nagios_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the nagios pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the nagios processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The nagios processes execute with the nagios_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 nagios_t
20
21
22
24 The nagios_t SELinux type can be entered via the nagios_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the nagios_t domain are the following:
28
29 /usr/bin/icinga, /usr/bin/nagios, /usr/sbin/icinga, /usr/sbin/nagios
30
32 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
33 system
34
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
36
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
38 nagios policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their nagios
39 processes in as secure a method as possible.
40
41 The following process types are defined for nagios:
42
43 nagios_t, nagios_admin_plugin_t, nagios_checkdisk_plugin_t, nagios_mail_plugin_t, nagios_services_plugin_t, nagios_system_plugin_t, nagios_unconfined_plugin_t, nagios_eventhandler_plugin_t, nagios_openshift_plugin_t, nagios_script_t
44
45 Note: semanage permissive -a nagios_t can be used to make the process
46 type nagios_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
47 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
48 ated.
49
50
52 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. nagios
53 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54 manipulate the policy and run nagios with the tightest access possible.
55
56
57
58 If you want to allow nagios run in conjunction with PNP4Nagios, you
59 must turn on the nagios_run_pnp4nagios boolean. Disabled by default.
60
61 setsebool -P nagios_run_pnp4nagios 1
62
63
64
65 If you want to allow nagios/nrpe to call sudo from NRPE utils scripts,
66 you must turn on the nagios_run_sudo boolean. Disabled by default.
67
68 setsebool -P nagios_run_sudo 1
69
70
71
72 If you want to determine whether Nagios, NRPE can access nfs file sys‐
73 tems, you must turn on the nagios_use_nfs boolean. Disabled by default.
74
75 setsebool -P nagios_use_nfs 1
76
77
78
79 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
80 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
81
82 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
83
84
85
87 The SELinux process type nagios_t can manage files labeled with the
88 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
89 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

176 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
177 type.
178
179 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
180
181 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
182 SELinux nagios policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
183 nagios processes in as secure a method as possible.
184
185 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
186
187 SELinux defines the file context types for the nagios, if you wanted to
188 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
189 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
190 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
191
192 semanage fcontext -a -t nagios_ra_content_t '/srv/mynagios_con‐
193 tent(/.*)?'
194 restorecon -R -v /srv/mynagios_content
195
196 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
197 match multiple files.

456
457 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
458 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
459 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
460 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
461
462
464 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
465 mappings.
466
467 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
468 process type is permissive.
469
470 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
471 icy modules.
472
473 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
474
475
476 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
477 icy settings.
