fail2ban configuration file

[jtwhite93]

Hello all,

I am completely new to VestaCP.

I just need to confirm that the correct configuration file for the fail2ban jails is:

Code: Select all

/etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.jail.conf

When you setup fail2ban manually you have to create a jail.local file and I do not see one of those, however, I see settings in the /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.jail.conf file. I just want to make sure I'm looking at the right one.

Thank you much for your help.

Maybe if someone has the time they could update https://vestacp.com/docs/#config-log-lo ... hel-centos with the config location for fail2ban?

I think that you need to create the files by yourself.

Code: Select all

cd /etc/fail2ban/
ls -la
