Hi,
Could someone give a definitive answer to this question: do I need to configure
fail2ban to monitor the rotated log files in addition to the main log file?
There is a similar question here: https://serverfault.com/q/490138/320744, but
just like everywhere else, it gives me contradictory info.
If I'm not mistaken, the DB referred to in dbpurgeage is used for keeping
failed attempts (or just banned ip)? If so, then as long as I set dbpurgeage
greater than the maximum findtime, I do not need to monitor rotated log files,
and fail2ban will look for any failed attempts from the DB? I want to make sure
I don't waste resources reading an old log for nothing.
Regards,
Yuping Zuo
