If you rename a domain, fail2ban will stop working, since it still tries to open the old path the the web access log.
One workaround is to restart the server after renaming the domain, then fail2ban paths are updated.
I'm using plesk 12.0.18.
I have fail2ban and try to install http-get-dos rule. but I have no way to make it work.
Here are my files :
# cat /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/http-get-dos.local
[Definition]
failregex = ^<HOST>.*"GET
ignoreregex =
[Code] ....
Then, when I start fail2ban, I have this thing :
2015-03-24 00:33:25,473 fail2ban.jail [7070]: INFO Creating new jail 'http-get-dos'
2015-03-24 00:33:25,473 fail2ban.jail [7070]: INFO Jail 'http-get-dos' uses Gamin
2015-03-24 00:33:25,474 fail2ban.jail [7070]: INFO Initiated 'gamin' backend
2015-03-24 00:33:25,475 fail2ban.filter [7070]: INFO Added logfile = /var/www/vhosts/mydomain1/logs/access_log
2015-03-24 00:33:25,476 fail2ban.filter [7070]: INFO Added logfile = /var/www/vhosts/mydomain2/logs/access_log
[Code] ....
So, I do not understand where is coming from the set max... then, in my iptables, I have all the Chains, but not the http-get-dos one :
# iptables -L | grep Chain | grep dos
and finally, I made some stress test, geneating more than 5000hits in 5 min, and no luck, nothing.
If I run failregex :
# fail2ban-regex /var/www/vhosts/mydomain1/logs/access_log /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/http-get-dos.local

Did I miss something in fail2ban configuration ? is there any pb to add custom rule to fail2ban in plesk ?
I have only tried to "switch on" the jail item "apache-badbots" and get a red box with:

After changing website domain name (from development one -dev-domain.com- to production one) we have this error in fail2ban.log :

I am currently running a trail of plex to see if it meets our requirements.
My domains are currently being hosted by an external provider and I have made the dns entry to point it the the server running plesk.
Now we can access the site created through plesk but the emails are not working not the webmail or even trying to forward the mails.
I have a freshly installed 'Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1' VPS with Plesk 11.5.30.When installing certain applications (for example, Dolphin, Elgg), it halts with the following error message: Requirements: Apache module - The app requires the 'rewrite' web server module
When I check in Windows IIS Manager under Modules, I see RewriteModule is installed as a native module.When checking the KB about this issue: URL..it says to enable the rewrite module by ticking it in the 'Configure native modules' box.However, that module is not even listed there, even though it clearly is listed in the main module overview as a native module.
Also, in Plesk > Tools & Settings > Server Management > Panel Components, URL rewrite is also listed: URL Rewrite [Active] IIS URL Rewrite Module 2 7.2.2
I activated fail2ban in Plesk 12 and set the SSH jail to ban after 2 retries for 24h on all ports.
This is the generated "/etc/fail2ban/jail.local":
Code:
[ssh]
enabled = true
maxretry = 2
action = iptables-allports[name=ssh]
I tested it and I'm only banned on the IP of SSH (I have one only for SSH and the Plesk panel).
I have 10 IPs in total on my server. I can still access all other IPs, i.e. my websites.
Why does fail2ban not block me completely?
So on our server, fail2ban got itself in a mess. Tried various things to fix, to no avail, so figured I'd just do a fresh install of it. There was minimal customisation to it that I couldn't re-do.
Note I'd already rm'd /etc/fail2ban - as on previous attempts, the files in here didn't appear to be restored to their defaults. So I figured removing the directory would force this to happen (Whether this was wise I'm not sure!) ;-)
So, following instructions here: [URL] .... I now get the following:
# wget http://kb.sp.parallels.com/Attachments/kcs-36245/fail2ban.gz
# gunzip fail2ban.gz
# mv fail2ban /etc/init.d/fail2ban
# chmod 755 /etc/init.d/fail2ban
# ll /etc/init.d/fail2ban /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf
ls: cannot access /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf: No such file or directory
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2141 Aug 15 2014 /etc/init.d/fail2ban
I then uninstall/reinstall with # /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller
(Have tried via the web interface too)
I then get:
# ll /etc/init.d/fail2ban /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf
ls: cannot access /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf: No such file or directory
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2141 Aug 15 2014 /etc/init.d/fail2ban
i.e., no change..
and if I go to the fail2ban settings in Plesk, I get:
Internal error: f2bmng failed: ERROR:f2bmng:No section: 'Definition'
Message f2bmng failed: ERROR:f2bmng:No section: 'Definition'
Is there a way to regenerate what should be in /etc/fail2ban by default?
I am not able to add a new filter to fail2ban
If I go in plesk panel to: Home > Tools & Settings >IP Address Banning > Jails > managing Filters > add filter > type in name & filtercontent and save I get "Information: The jail filter was added". But i can not see the new added filter in the Plesk Filter List (still just the 12 Filters in the list).
On the filesystem > /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/ i can see the new file but with the extension .local - usulay the file is named like xyz.conf

["proftpd", "fail2ban"], ["recidive", "fail2ban"], ["sshd", "fail2ban"], ["test", null]]
test is the name i choosed for the new filter and it seems the second field has "null" .....
we have a brute force attack:
Code:

[code]....
And so on, but the Fail2Ban doesn't lock this ip address, why? And how can we manually lock about the webinterface this ip?
Well with activated apache-badbots jails I have in a short time a hugh amount of banned IPs. Usualy action for this is to use iptables-ipset-proto and save all this baned IPs in the ipset insteed as normal in the iptables list - thats also a suggestion which was discussed in the fail2ban forum for better performance. And yes I had this running (ipset package installed) with my manual installation of fail2ban before I switched over to the plesk integrated.
action = iptables-ipset-proto6[name=BadBots, port="http,https,7080,7081"] insteed of action = iptables-multiport[name=BadBots, port="http,https,7080,7081"]
So how can I add iptables-ipset-proto4.conf, iptables-ipset-proto6-allports.conf, iptables-ipset-proto6.conf to the plesk version of fail2ban??
I have the problem that the ip blocked "failban" too short (set findtime=1800).
The ip should be blocked for 30 minutes (the second time).

12.0.18 Update #46, last updated at May 15, 2015 03:57 AM
Just recently (after update #46) Fail2Ban stopped working and I couldn't restart it or pin point the reason behind it. I decided to uninstall F2B component via Plesk installer.
F2B uninstalled however when I try to install it again I get error : 'Installation will not continue'
Where to start and where can I find log files that could give me some clues?
Since upgrading to 12.0.18 Update # 5 fail2ban stopped working.

I installed fail2ban via the autoinstaller today. I got a failed install. There is no /etc/init.d/fail2ban file, and no /usr/bin/fail2ban-server.
On the other hand yum-search tells me it's installed:

I have just looked at the plesk panel log - /usr/local/psa/admin/logs/panel.log - and seen an alarming number of attempts to access plesk using the admin user. i.e.
[2015-02-02 14:53:46] ERR [panel] [Action Log] Failed login attempt with login 'admin' from IP 50.62.148.176
I have fail2ban installed and set up for other things...
i'm running 12.0.18#34 on PCS dedicated server. i recently discovered that some of the default jails on fail2ban that is shipped with Plesk 12 were not working correctly. Let me explain what i mean. For instance, the plesk-panel jail. The logs were parsed correctly, the command was successfully appended in iptables list, the fail2ban log was updated. Still, the intruder was not blocked. I kept reading "already banned" on the fail2ban.log but actually there was no blocking.
After some checks, i found out that fail2ban default configuration states SSH as default blocking port.
that means, the block was working but only for ssh hits. thus the plesk-panel admin page hits were passing through.
since i added port=http,https on jail.local > plesk-panel and did it a restart on fail2ban service, only then did it start to actually block incoming hits.
I think this should be verified by programmers group and maybe include a fix in some future minor update.
I have updated from 11.5 to 12.0 mostly in order to use Fail2Ban.
I have also installed a new Plesk 12 license key to make sure that the license allows Fail2Ban. It says now that Fail2Ban is "On". But I can not find the menu entry to get to the Fail2Ban configuration. It is simply not there... (it is supposed to be in the Securitiy menu in the Tools and Settings section...)
In Fail2ban (great idea to include it in plesk!) settings you can set "Time interval for detection of subsequent attacks" (findtime) in general. But it would be interesting this setting per Jail.
You could have 2 jail with same filter but different findtime. Example:
Jail 1) 5 failures in 600 seconds: 1800 seconds ban
Jail 2) 30 failures in 86400 seconds: 604800 seconds ban
There are bots that detect if you have some protection fail2ban or similar and it will adapt, login attempt every 300 seconds for example. Jail 1 no detect this attack, but Jail 2 yes.
See the example, live time :
