+# fail2ban
+
+Module monitor 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
+
+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`.
