+If no messages make it to the syslog tab in LibreNMS, chances are you experience an issue with SELinux. If so, create a file mycustom-librenms-rsyslog.te , with the following content:
+
+```
+module mycustom-librenms-rsyslog 1.0;
+
+require {
+        type syslogd_t;
+        type httpd_sys_rw_content_t;
+        type ping_exec_t;
+        class process execmem;
+        class dir { getattr search write };
+        class file { append getattr execute open read };
+}

+#============= syslogd_t ==============

+allow syslogd_t httpd_sys_rw_content_t:file { open read append getattr };
+allow syslogd_t self:process execmem;
+allow syslogd_t ping_exec_t:file execute;

+
+Then, as root, execute the following commands:
