SELinux prevents collectd to send data to a remote TCP port

Issue

• our custom collectd package worked fine for rhel 6.5 installations. it was running unconfined.
• after updating to rhel 6.6 collectd is suddenly blocked by selinux while sending data to a tcp port.
• it turns out that in 6.6 there is a collectd selinux module that wasnt there in rhel 6.5
