+description:
+ This check verifies SELinux status.
+ You need to install the plugin {selinux} into the {plugins} directory of your
+ linux agent.
+
+ The check will go critical if SELinux is disabled or if SELinux file mode is
+ permissive. The check will go to warning if the current mode is permissive 
+ while the file mode is enforcing.
+
+inventory:
+ One service will be created where the {selinux} plugin produces a non-empty 
+ output.
+
+perfdata:
+ No performance data is available.
