We should increase the default lockout fail2ban time.

In the daily fail2ban reports for our servers I am seeing a lot of repeat doorknob jiggling. In my own servers for which I greatly increased the fail2ban lockout time I see a much much smaller number of failed attempts.

What settings are you using, and in which templates? There is no lockout setting, but three settings comprise a "lockout".

Per Jail Options I'd suggest:

maxretry=3
bantime=3600
findtime=3600
