Set SELinux in permissive Mode and then it works.

Dear,

That is not actually a bug.
And this is correct, that SElinux blocked abnormal behaviour.

You should understand how does SElinux works to troubleshoot and control it.
After reading that "documentaion" I started more deeper to understand SElinux philosophy and meaning: https://people.redhat.com/duffy/selinux/selinux-coloring-book_A4-Stapled.pdf

First need to examine logs: start with emptying logs, tailing them and repeating an action, which does not work. Backup log, do not remove (otherwise need to touch it)

cp /var/log/audit/audit.log /var/log/audit/audit.log.202003121106
cat > /var/log/audit/audit.log

C-c

tail them
tail -f /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep "denied"

understand them

grep "chrome" /var/log/audit/audit.log  | grep "denied" | grep "ptrace" | audit2allow
grep "chrome" /var/log/audit/audit.log  | grep "denied" | grep "exec" | audit2allow

finally make a SE module
grep "chrome" /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep "denied" | audit2allow -a -M icinga_pdfexport

install module and check

semodule -i icinga_pdfexport.pp
semodule -l | grep pdfexport

switch SE booleans on, if needed

setsebool -P httpd_execmem true
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect true
getsebool -a | grep httpd

My environment:
RHEL7.7

Thanks @OG2K!

This is indeed more of a documentation issue.
