Description Marek Skalický 2016-02-12 12:10:33 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1306819 +++

Description of problem:
Mongod cannot start when configured to log to syslog.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mongodb.x86_64         2.6.11-1.el7
mongodb-server.x86_64  2.6.11-1.el7                                 

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install mongodb-server

2. Configure to use syslog loging. Edit /etc/mongod.conf and set the following:

syslog = true
syslogFacility = user
#logpath = /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log


3. Start mongod

# systemctl start mongod



Actual results:

Lots of denials.

From /var/log/messages

Expected results:

Mongod writes out to syslog and no selinux denials. Maybe this should/does require an sebool?

Moving to selinux-policy.

This bug affect all versions of Fedora and also EPEL.


SELinux info from F23:

SELinux is preventing mongod from create access on the unix_dgram_socket Unknown.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that mongod should be allowed create access on the Unknown unix_dgram_socket by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep mongod /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
