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.
