Manage SELinux Alert Message

Cockpit administrators can monitor and manage access denial alert messages generated by SELinux using the SELinux page in the web console.

Note:

To perform similar tasks from the command line use setenforce and sealert tools. For more information, see Troubleshooting Access Denial Messages in Oracle Linux: Administering SELinux.
