Can you try this policy module:
::::::::::::::
solr.fc
::::::::::::::
/var/log/store(/.*)? gen_context(system_u:object_r:rsync_log_t,s0)
::::::::::::::
solr.te
::::::::::::::
policy_module(solr, 0.0.1)
# ======================================================
# Declarations
# ======================================================
require {
type rsync_t;
type rsync_log_t;
}
# ======================================================
# Solr local policy
# ======================================================
logging_log_file(rsync_log_t)
logging_log_filetrans(rsync_t,rsync_log_t, { file dir } )
Followed by:
# restorecon -rv /var/log/store
See if that helps.
Paul.
