• Logwatch does not report fail2ban on Debian 12

    From Tapio Lehtonen@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 12 14:30:02 2024
    On Debian 10 and 11 hosts the e-mail logwatch generates has section like
    this:

    --------------------- fail2ban-messages Begin ------------------------


    Banned services with Fail2Ban: Bans:Unbans
    postfix-sasl: [ 3:3 ]
    recidive: [ 88:155]
    sshd: [296:296]

    ---------------------- fail2ban-messages End -------------------------

    On Debian 12, that section does not appear.

    I have compared settings between hosts, I can not see difference. I
    tried to seem if fail2ban log format has changed, but they look the same
    to me. Troubleshooting on the Debian 12 host with

    # logwatch --debug High --service fail2ban

    shows logfile with the fail2ban info is read and the filter finds Ban,
    Unban etc. lines. With --debug High the resulting e-mail did have fail2ban-messages section, but still not the summary lines with numbers
    of Bans:Unbans.

    Is this a known issue, some configuration needs adjustment?

    My Debian 12 host is NOT upgraded from Debian 11, it is a fresh install.
    I did read Debian 12 Release notes, but can not find it mentioning
    logwatch or fail2ban.
