# Fail2ban Plugin

The fail2ban plugin gathers counts of failed and banned ip addresses from fail2ban.

This plugin run fail2ban-client command, and fail2ban-client require root access.
You have to grant telegraf to run fail2ban-client:

- Run telegraf as root. (deprecate)
- Configure sudo to grant telegraf to fail2ban-client.

### Using sudo

You may edit your sudo configuration with the following:

``` sudo
telegraf ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/fail2ban-client status *
```

### Configuration:

``` toml
# Read metrics from fail2ban.
[[inputs.fail2ban]]
## fail2ban-client require root access.
## Setting 'use_sudo' to true will make use of sudo to run fail2ban-client.
## Users must configure sudo to allow telegraf user to run fail2ban-client with no password.
## This plugin run only "fail2ban-client status".
use_sudo = false
```

### Measurements & Fields:

- fail2ban
- failed (integer, count)
- banned (integer, count)

### Tags:

- All measurements have the following tags:
- jail

### Example Output:

```
# fail2ban-client status sshd
Status for the jail: sshd
|- Filter
| |- Currently failed: 5
| |- Total failed: 20
| `- File list: /var/log/secure
`- Actions
|- Currently banned: 2
|- Total banned: 10
`- Banned IP list: 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2
```

```
$ ./telegraf --config telegraf.conf --input-filter fail2ban --test
fail2ban,jail=sshd failed=5i,banned=2i 1495868667000000000
