====== Ubuntu - Fail2Ban - Check the fail2ban status of a specific service ======

For example, to check the fail2ban status of the sshd service:

<code bash>
sudo fail2ban-client status sshd
</code>

returns:

<code>
Status for the jail: sshd
|- Filter
|  |- Currently failed:	0
|  |- Total failed:	0
|  `- Journal matches:	_SYSTEMD_UNIT=sshd.service + _COMM=sshd
`- Actions
   |- Currently banned:	0
   |- Total banned:	0
   `- Banned IP list:	
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  Once actual banning starts, the totals and the Banned IP list will get updated.

The actual ban action is controlled by nftables.

  * Check the nft status with: <code bash>
sudo nft list ruleset
</code>
