But you can get observium to work with SELinux with easy.
I have installed Observium and i have SELinux enabled and its working just fine.

Its easy to modify SELinux policies when you install setroubleshoot-server package. It provides tools to make a new policies from SELinux alerts.
Its pretty easy to use those tools. It almost gives you all shell commands which you need to run when it notices SELinux alert and when you need to modify policies.

That way i did manage to make needed modifications and i have SELinux enabled and Observium running without problems.
