SERVICES_MUNIN_PLUGIN_SELINUX(8)

💖 services_munin_plugin_selinux(8) — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a manual page from the service..._selinux(8) set (yes the name is literally truncated like that, she's quirky), and the whole manual name is SELinux Policy services_munin_pluginservice..._selinux(8) — that's the vibe. it's about SELinux policy for the services_munin_plugin processes. pull up a chair 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

services_munin_plugin_selinux — Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the services_munin_plugin processes. that's it, that's the whole name section 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the services_munin_plugin processes via flexible mandatory access control. so like, SELinux is the bouncer and it's very thorough 💅

The services_munin_plugin processes execute with the services_munin_plugin_t SELinux type. wanna check if you've got these processes running? run the ps command with the -Z qualifier. icon behavior fr.

For example:

ps -eZ | grep services_munin_plugin_t

---

🦋 ENTRYPOINTS 🦋

The services_munin_plugin_t SELinux type can be entered via the services_munin_plugin_exec_t file type. that's the doorway, bestie 🚪✨

The default entrypoint paths for the services_munin_plugin_t domain are the following:

/usr/share/munin/plugins/nut.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/ntp_.*,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/snmp_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/mysql_.*,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/slapd_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/squid_.*,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/apache_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/tomcat_.*,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/varnish_.*,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/asterisk_.*,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/postgres_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/named,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/ping_, /usr/share/munin/plugins/samba,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/lpstat, /usr/share/munin/plugins/openvpn,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/fail2ban,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/http_loadtime

---

👑 PROCESS TYPES 👑

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. every process gets its own little identity card, no cap 🪪

You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps.

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux services_munin_plugin policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their services_munin_plugin processes in as secure a method as possible. flexible AND responsible, we love a balanced queen ✨

The following process types are defined for services_munin_plugin:

• services_munin_plugin_t

Note: semanage permissive -a services_munin_plugin_t can be used to make the process type services_munin_plugin_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. so like it stops blocking you but it still ✍️ writes down everything you did, lowkey surveillance energy 😭

---

🍓 BOOLEANS 🍓

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. services_munin_plugin policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run services_munin_plugin with the tightest access possible. tightest access possible = main character energy, minimal privileges 💜

If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P fips_mode 1

---

🌈 MANAGED FILES 🌈

The SELinux process type services_munin_plugin_t can manage files labeled with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions. so SELinux saying yes is not the whole story, the UID gotta say yes too, teamwork bestie 🤝

munin_plugin_state_t

/var/lib/munin/plugin-state(/.*)?

services_munin_plugin_tmp_t

(no paths listed, she's mysterious 💀)

services_munin_plugin_tmpfs_t

(also no paths, also mysterious 🎀)

---

🧚 FILE CONTEXTS 🧚

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. every file needs its little name tag, it's giving kindergarten cubby 🏷️

You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls.

Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files. SELinux services_munin_plugin policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their services_munin_plugin processes in as secure a method as possible.

⭐ STANDARD FILE CONTEXT ⭐

SELinux defines the file context types for the services_munin_plugin, if you wanted to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use restorecon to put the labels on disk. relocation but make it official ✨

semanage fcontext -a -t services_munin_plugin_exec_t '/srv/services_munin_plugin/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myservices_munin_plugin_content

Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. regex girlies rise 🙈

The following file types are defined for services_munin_plugin:

services_munin_plugin_exec_t

• Set files with the services_munin_plugin_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the services_munin_plugin_t domain.

Paths:

/usr/share/munin/plugins/nut.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/ntp_.*,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/snmp_.*,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/mysql_.*,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/slapd_.*,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/squid_.*,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/apache_.*,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/tomcat_.*,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/varnish_.*,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/asterisk_.*,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/postgres_.*,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/named, /usr/share/munin/plugins/ping_,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/samba, /usr/share/munin/plugins/lpstat,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/openvpn,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/fail2ban,
/usr/share/munin/plugins/http_loadtime

services_munin_plugin_tmp_t

• Set files with the services_munin_plugin_tmp_t type, if you want to store services munin plugin temporary files in the /tmp directories.

services_munin_plugin_tmpfs_t

• Set files with the services_munin_plugin_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store services munin plugin files on a tmpfs file system.

Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command. If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling database. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels. temporary vs permanent, know the difference or you WILL be confused later, iykyk 😭

---

💅 COMMANDS 💅

• semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context mappings.
• semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a process type is permissive.
• semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove policy modules.
• semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
• system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings. yes bestie, a GUI, for when the terminal is doing too much 🖱️✨
