Figured out what was wrong...Reading in the fail2ban web page I found this:
- In order for a log line to match your failregex, it actually has to match in two parts: the beginning of the line has to match a timestamp pattern or regex, and the remainder of the line has to match your failregex. If the failregex is anchored with a leading
^, then the anchor refers to the start of the remainder of the line, after the timestamp and intervening whitespace.
- The pattern or regex to match the time stamp is currently not documented, and not available for users to read or set. See Debian bug #491253. This is a problem if your log has a timestamp format that fail2ban doesn't expect, since it will then fail to match any lines. Because of this, you should test any new failregex against a sample log line, as in the examples below, to be sure that it will match. If fail2ban doesn't recognize your log timestamp, then you have two options: either reconfigure your daemon to log with a timestamp in a more common format, such as in the example log line above; or file a bug report asking to have your timestamp format included.
mod_fail2ban does NOT include any timestamps in the logs it generates (see my previous mail). So I modified it to include one. Recompiled, etc. and now it is working like a charm.I only added on line to the original source, here highlighted in bold:static void fail2ban_event_handler(switch_event_t *event) {if (event->event_id == SWITCH_EVENT_CUSTOM && strncmp(event->subclass_name, "sofia::register_attempt",23) == 0) {<------><------>switch_file_printf(logfile, "A registration was atempted "); <------><------>switch_file_printf(logfile, "%s:%s ", "User", switch_event_get_header(event, "to-user")); <------><------>switch_file_printf(logfile, "%s:%s ", "IP", switch_event_get_header(event, "network-ip")); <------><------>switch_file_printf(logfile, "\n"); <------>} else if (event->event_id == SWITCH_EVENT_CUSTOM && strncmp(event->subclass_name, "sofia::register_failure",23) == 0) {<------><------>switch_file_printf(logfile, "%s ", switch_event_get_header( event, "Event-Date-Local")); <------><------>switch_file_printf(logfile, "A registration failed "); <------><------>switch_file_printf(logfile, "%s:%s ", "User", switch_event_get_header(event, "to-user")); <------><------>switch_file_printf(logfile, "%s:%s ", "IP", switch_event_get_header(event, "network-ip")); <------><------>switch_file_printf(logfile, "\n"); <------>}}--On Fri, Sep 23, 2016 at 6:35 PM, Guillermo Ruiz Camauer <grcamauer@gmail.com> wrote:Has anyone tried this but with mod_fail2ban?
