# Test Agent processes running in SELinux confinement mode

Check if Trellix Agent SELinux policy modules are loaded and Trellix Agent processes are running in SELinux confinement.

1. Verify the SELinux policy modules are loaded appropriately.

**` # semodule -l | grep -i mfe`**

The sample output on applying this command is:

```
# # semodule -l | grep mfe_ma
mfe_ma
mfe_ma_rt
```
2. Verify whether Trellix Agent processes are running in SELinux confinement.

**` # ps -eZf | grep self_start`**

The sample output on applying this command is:

```
# ps -eZf | grep self_start

```

```
Failed dependencies:
selinux-policy >= 3.14.1-61 is needed by MFEma-selinux-5.8.x-10.el8.noarch
This is corrected by verifying the rpm is supported by linux os.
