MQ performance on RHEL8 with fapolicyd enabled

After going to RHEL8 we had to enable fapolicyd due to security/STIG requirements

fapolcyd is enabled in permissive mode which is non-enforcing.

We see significant slowdown in throughput when fapolciyd is enabled.

Would like to see performance reports with fapolicyd enabled and also like advise/best practices/tuning on how MQ could operate with this security capability enabled.

    It is not likely that we would produce specific performance reports around the fapolicyd framework. There are tools available that you can run to execute the same kind of samples, including driving applications https://github.com/ibm-messaging/mq-cph and a simulator of MQ's I/P patterns https://github.com/ibm-messaging/mqldt


    Additional investigation might be done under a services contract, possibly in conjunction with Red Hat who know more about this particular framework, and will know what kinds of activity affect performance.
