    Hey!
    Im new on the forum,
    Could someone please help me with the regex to this logfile

    [21/Feb/2014:18:51:17] Login failed from 192.168.1.19, username: admin, login:

    im trying this:
    failregex = Login failed from <HOST>$ .*
    Blocked Login attempt for .* from <HOST>$
    Blocked username enumeration attempt from <HOST>$

    My jail.conf:
    enabled = true
    port = http,https
    filter = pellmon-auth
    logpath = /usr/local/var/log/pellmonweb/error.log
    maxretry = 3
    bantime = 84600

    the jail is starting and i receive the startmail and faillogin is written to the above file

    But the IP will not being banned!

    Could anyone se the obvious missing in the failregex

    Shouldn't it be:

    Code:
    [Definition]
    failregex = ^\s*Login failed from <HOST>, username: admin, login:

    Thank you!

    but there is plausible one other thing that I haved messed up to;-)

    in my logfile : /usr/local/var/log/pellmonweb/error.log

    this will happen if I try to login with empty feilds:

    [22/Feb/2014:18:38:45] Login failed from 192.168.1.10, username: , password:

    my pellmon-auth.conf:
    Code:
    # Fail2Ban configuration file
    #
    # Author: Cyril Jaquier
    #
    # $Revision$
    #
    
    
    [Definition]
    
    # Option:  failregex
    # Notes.:  regex to match the password failure messages in the logfile. The
    #          host must be matched by a group named "host". The tag "<HOST>" can
    #          be used for standard IP/hostname matching and is only an alias for
    #          (?:::f{4,6}:)?(?P<host>[\w\-.^_]+)
    # Values:  TEXT
    
    
    failregex =  ^\s*Login failed from <HOST>, username: admin, login:	
    
    
    # Option:  ignoreregex
    # Notes.:  regex to ignore. If this regex matches, the line is ignored.
    # Values:  TEXT
    #
    ignoreregex = 
    
    and in my jail.conf:

    Code:
    [apache-Pellmon]
    
    enabled  = true
    port     = http,https,8081
    filter   = pellmon-auth
    logpath  = /usr/local/var/log/pellmonweb*/*error.log
    maxretry = 3
    bantime  = 84600
    
    What am I missing?

    then maybe just:

    Code:
    [Definition]
    failregex = ^\s*Login failed from <HOST>,*
    
    not really sure though

    nope, sorry,

    I´m running this pellmon on cherrypy webserver instead och apache2, which I run all my other things on,

    But this could not be the problem??

    or have I done some other failure in the pointings or something else obvious in the config in my earlier post

    you need to have the right regex.... I think the example I posted should work but I'm not really good at regex either.

    hey again!

    it should be in this way on my version,

    failregex = ^.*Login failed from <HOST>,

    a "." instead of "\s"

    upnrunning,

    thank you for your support!
