Ubuntu - Fail2Ban - Check the fail2ban status of a specific service
For example, to check the fail2ban status of the sshd service:
sudo fail2ban-client status sshd
returns:
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:
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:
sudo nft list ruleset
