What are the requirements for monitoring Apache with SELinux?

AppDynamics does not directly support SELinux. For troubleshooting SELinux, consult your security team.

This page lists the requirements for monitoring Apache with SELinux.

The Apache agent requires the following:

  • Read/write/execute privileges on <agent-install-dir>/logs directory.
  • Read/write/execute privileges on <agent-install-dir>/logs/appd-sdk directory.
  • The ability to read, write, create, and unlink Unix sockets.
  • The ability to create, write, add_name, remove_name, and setattr on class dir.
  • For automatically launching the proxy on RHEL/Centos 7, class capability2 block_suspend.
  • Read/execute privileges on <agent-install-dir>/WebServerAgent/Apache/libmod_appdynamics.so and/or libmod_appdynamics22.so.
  • Read/execute privileges on <agent-install-dir>/sdk_lib/lib/libappdynamics_native_sdk.so
  • Read/execute privileges on <agent-install-dir>/conf
  • Read privilege on <agent-install-dir>/conf/appdynamics_agent_log4cxx.xml

Note: Many of the read/write requirements can be met by setting the type, recursively, of the <agent-install-dir> to httpd_sys_rw_content_t.
