semanage: Disable/Enable dontaudit rules in policy.
$ semanage dontaudit -S ${store} ${select}
try on your machine

The command "semanage dontaudit -S ${store} ${select}" is used to modify the SELinux policy's audit rules. Here's a breakdown of the different components of the command:

  • "semanage" is the program used to manage SELinux policy.
  • "dontaudit" is an option that allows you to specify certain SELinux denials to not generate audit messages.
  • "-S ${store}" specifies the selinux policy store to operate on. The "${store}" variable should be replaced with the actual name of the store.
  • "${select}" specifies the type or object to apply the command to. The "${select}" variable should be replaced with the actual name of the object or type.

Overall, this command is used to selectively disable auditing for specific SELinux denials in order to reduce log noise and focus on more critical events.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
