Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
This plugin checks if the fail2ban server is running and how many IPs are currently banned.
|
|
You can use this plugin to monitor all the jails or just a specific jail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
How to use
|
|
----------
|
|
Just have to run the following command:
|
|
$ ./check_fail2ban --help
|
|
|
|
If you need to use this script with NRPE you just have to do the
|
|
following steps:
|
|
|
|
1 allow your user to run the script with the sudo rights. Just add
|
|
something like that in your /etc/sudoers (use visudo) :
|
|
nagios ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /<path-to>/check_fail2ban
|
|
|
|
2 then just add this kind of line in your NRPE config file :
|
|
command[check_fail2ban]=/usr/bin/sudo /<path-to>/check_fail2ban
|
|
|
|
3 don't forget to restart your NRPE daemon
|
|
|
|
/!\ be careful to let no one able to update the check_fail2ban ;)
