I wonder why I started to get tons of this kind of *warnings*:

SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http "create"
access.

Detailed Description
[check_imap has a permissive type (nagios_system_plugin_t). This access
was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by check_http. It is not expected that
this access is required by check_http and this access may signal an
intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or
configuration of the application is causing it to require additional
access. 

If I remember correctly this started when I did
#restorecon /usr/lib/nagios/plugins

BR,
