[Request] Fail2ban plugin in Netdata about gooby HOT 3 CLOSED

No worries, do you have a link or more information on how to enable/configure this plugin in docker?

from gooby.

Fail2ban should work out of the box when Netdata is installed given that when you install Netdata you also install the plugins. The only condition is that the Fail2ban log/config files are readable by Netdata (Documentation). By default Netdata look for log/config file at:

log_path: '/var/log/fail2ban.log'
conf_path: '/etc/fail2ban/jail.local'

Judging on my own Gooby v2 installation var/log/fail2ban.log is in place whilst there seems to be two other critical problems:

1. Fail2ban plugin is not installed. According to this Plugin configuration plugins are installed at /usr/libexec/netdata/[plugin type]/[plugin module] In the case of Fail2ban the full path would be: /usr/libexec/netdata/python.d/fail2ban.chart.py

2. /etc/fail2ban/jail.local is not present (jail.local overrides jail.conf). This could indicate that after Fail2ban installation a jail.local were not created with the following command: sudo cp /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf /etc/fail2ban/jail.local

I have no experience to manage the above / install Netdata in a Docker environment. On a different server I installed everything without Gooby (Sorry ;-) and here I used the following command to install Netdata: bash <(curl -Ss https://my-netdata.io/kickstart-static64.sh) It's sort of "install everything" to ensure that I would get all the plugins and modules installed.

That's about what I can contribute.

Ok, I'm afraid I will have to put this request on the backburner for now... I can't find any useful documentation to get this to work with Docker. Definitely wanting to revisit this when a solution is easier :)
