This is related to DOCS-4170.
Currently, when we install the MongoDB RPMs on RHEL, we apply the security context "mongod_var_lib_t" to the /var/lib/mongo, which is the default dbpath directory.
However, this isn't particularly descriptive of the purpose of this directory.
Furthermore, if a user were to change their dbpath, from a naming perspective it doesn't make sense to re-use mongod_var_lib_t.
One suggestion would be to make this security context something a little more descriptive, such as mongod_dbpath_t, which could then be applied as appropriate to wherever the dbpath is.
