SELinux Audit Commands and Links

You can install audit2why by installing the policycoreutils package

sudo dnf install policycoreutils-python-utils

Show what and why something is failing

audit2why < /var/log/audit/audit.log

Search with ausearch

ausearch -m avc --start recent

Create and apply a module to fix the failure

This creates two files, a .pp and .te. The .pp is the compiled version of the .te

audit2allow -M mymodule < /var/log/audit/audit.log
semodule -i mymodule.pp

Note that “mymodule.pp” will replace any previous “mymodule.pp”. If your needing to create multiple modules/allow multiple exceptions, you can change the name of each module.

You can also add the rules together then manually compile it. Refer to the first link for more details.
