SELinux Troubleshooting

If you see this warning: "WARNING: failed to connect to redis: permission denied" then check audit.log, e.g. /var/log/audit/audit.log:

avc:  denied  { name_connect } for  pid=4773 comm="postgres" dest=6379 scontext=system_u:system_r:postgresql_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:redis_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket permissive=0

Use audit2allow to fix this issue.

# audit2allow -w -a

type=AVC msg=audit(1444121144.166:604): avc:  denied  { name_connect } for  pid=4773 comm="postgres" dest=6379 scontext=system_u:system_r:postgresql_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:redis_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket permissive=0
    Was caused by:
    type enforcement (TE) allow rule.

    can use audit2allow to generate a loadable module to allow this access.

# audit2allow -a -M postgresredispol
