I've had trouble getting Nagios runtime files to work and play well
with SELinux. In particular, the pid file, /var/nagios/nagios.pid, is
created with a generic var_t type rather than the necessary
nagios_var_run_t type, so I've tweaked system policy a bit:
semanage fcontext -a -t nagios_var_run_t "/var/nagios/nagios\.pid"
