php-fpm fails to monitor PHP scripts, printing "Operation not permitted" message

Issue

• On systems executing a HTTP server and php-fpm, php-fpm fails to monitor PHP scripts and prints the following messages in its log file (e.g. /var/opt/rh/rh-php73/log/php-fpm/error.log)

  ERROR: failed to ptrace(ATTACH) child ZZZ: Operation not permitted (1)
  

• The following AVC can be seen (example with RHEL7 where php-fpm is delivered through Software Collection Library)
