Technical Tip: How to Disable SELinux Temporarily or Permanently

On certain Linux distributions, SELinux is activated by default and operates in Enforcing mode. As a consequence may face such issues:

1. The agent cannot identify which log types it should collect.
2. It fails to send any logs to the Supervisor.

Workaround:

This can permanently disable or put it in Permissive mode.

Step1: Check the SELinux status.

sestatus

Step2: Set SELinux permissive temporarily. 

setenforce 0

Or, disable SELinux permanently:

sed -i 's/enforcing/disabled/g' /etc/selinux/config

Step3:

To make these changes, reboot the server:

reboot

After reboot, check with the 'sestatus' command to check SELinux status.
