Installation commands for Mitchell Krog developed Ultimate Bad Bot Blocker are for Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 or higher LEMP stack on CentOS 6/7 specifically due to the differences in Centmin Mod's Nginx structure. If you have existing bad bot blocking & rate limiting setup, you will need to remove or comment out those include files with hash # in front of them first for
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/botlimit.conf;in/usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.confinclude /usr/local/nginx/conf/blockbots.conf;within each of your Centmin Mod Nginx vhost config files within directory at/usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d
Also update-ngxblocker script and cronjob doesn't seem to update itself from mitchellkrogza/nginx-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker#157 (comment) so for now need to manually update it using command and may need to setup a cronjob for that.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitchellkrogza/nginx-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker/master/update-ngxblocker -O /usr/local/sbin/update-ngxblocker && chmod 700 /usr/local/sbin/update-ngxblocker
Instructions below are provided as is with no support provided by me. For issues with false postives blocks etc, you will need to contact the official developer on their Ultimate Bad Bot Blocker issue tracker.
There's a mailing list and Slack Channel too:
Actual install commands for Nginx Ultimate Bad Bot Blocker installed at /usr/local/nginx/conf/ultimate-badbot-blocker and where the global bad bot blacklisting is contained in /usr/local/nginx/conf/ultimate-badbot-blocker/globalblacklist.conf.
# download and install
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitchellkrogza/nginx-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker/master/install-ngxblocker -O /usr/local/sbin/install-ngxblocker
chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/install-ngxblocker

I'll probably have to write up a script to check and notify me when the Ultimate Bad Bot Blocker installed scripts in /usr/local/sbin/ are modified from their initial installed versions just to keep track when cron updates change these files
/usr/local/sbin/install-ngxblocker/usr/local/sbin/setup-ngxblocker/usr/local/sbin/update-ngxblocker
Maybe via checking md5sum hashes
md5sum /usr/local/sbin/install-ngxblocker | tee install-ngxblocker.md5
938734ed5ae1001f90930f4b01fa51f8 /usr/local/sbin/install-ngxblocker
md5sum -c install-ngxblocker.md5
/usr/local/sbin/install-ngxblocker: OK
md5sum /usr/local/sbin/setup-ngxblocker | tee setup-ngxblocker.md5
c5cb4d154caeb956413dadf59072c7aa /usr/local/sbin/setup-ngxblocker
md5sum -c setup-ngxblocker.md5
/usr/local/sbin/setup-ngxblocker: OK
md5sum /usr/local/sbin/update-ngxblocker | tee update-ngxblocker.md5
47375490d11e99505931bc3b753ba338 /usr/local/sbin/update-ngxblocker
md5sum -c update-ngxblocker.md5
/usr/local/sbin/update-ngxblocker: OK
You can check nginx.conf config file at /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf against the backed up copy at /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf-backup-b4-badbot which you would of backed up in initial install commands above.
setup-ngxblocker doesn't setup /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf includes properly as it inserted include files in wrong place in centmin mod nginx.conf outside of http{] context

then recheck and test nginx conf and you will get a new error for duplicate server_names_hash_bucket_size as /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf also lists this directive and it's being duplicated in thie bad bot installer's include file on line 15 of /usr/local/nginx/conf/ultimate-badbot-blocker/botblocker-nginx-settings.conf
nginx -t

for the most part centmin mod nginx generated vhosts had the include files added in correct place above the first location / context with exception of 2 vhost files where added include files weren't added directly above location / but were added further up in vhost config files below. Though technically it is still correct so nothing needed to correct.

You can use ngxtop to analyse your Centmin Mod Nginx access logs and keep an eye on Nginx HTTP 444 status codes and also other user agent strings, HTTP status codes etc as outlined here.
CentOS 7 ngxtop install
yum -y install python-pip
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install ngxtop
Check for HTTP 444 status codes /home/nginx/domains/domain1.com/log/access.log access log
grep ' 444 ' /home/nginx/domains/domain1.com/log/access.log | ngxtop --no-follow
Only one entry for 444 exists due to test domain1.com test command curl -I http://domain1.com -e http://100dollars-seo.com only ran once
grep ' 444 ' /home/nginx/domains/domain1.com/log/access.log | ngxtop --no-follow

alternatively you can use native -i 'status == 444' flag
cat /home/nginx/domains/domain1.com/log/access.log | ngxtop --no-follow -i 'status == 444'
cat /home/nginx/domains/domain1.com/log/access.log | ngxtop --no-follow -i 'status == 444'

cat /home/nginx/domains/domain1.com/log/access.log | ngxtop --no-follow -i 'status == 444' print request status http_user_agent

the test command was run via curl hence curl user agent string
