# Fail2ban monitoring with Netdata
Monitors the fail2ban log file to show all bans for all active jails.
## Requirements
- fail2ban.log file MUST BE readable by Netdata (A good idea is to add **create 0640 root netdata** to fail2ban conf at logrotate.d)
It produces one chart with multiple lines (one line per jail)
## Configuration
Edit the `python.d/fail2ban.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the Netdata [config
directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
```bash
cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/fail2ban.conf
```
Sample:
```yaml
local:
log_path: '/var/log/fail2ban.log'
conf_path: '/etc/fail2ban/jail.local'
exclude: 'dropbear apache'
```
If no configuration is given, module will attempt to read log file at `/var/log/fail2ban.log` and conf file at `/etc/fail2ban/jail.local`.
If conf file is not found default jail is `ssh`.
