is there's a way to monitor fail2ban with monit?
There is only a socket in /tmp no pid file ...

Hello

to monitor fail2ban with monit:

First you must have the last fail2ban last version (0.8.2) If you have debian etch your fail2ban version is 0.7.5 To install fail2ban 0.8.2 in debian etch: http://www.isp-control.net/forum/howto-i...-3340.html

Now open /etc/monit/monitrc

Code:

# vi /etc/monit/monitrc

Add at the end

Code:

# fail2ban
check process fail2ban with pidfile /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.pid
   group services
   start program = "/etc/init.d/fail2ban start"
   stop  program = "/etc/init.d/fail2ban stop"
   if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

Code:

./monit.cnf

Sure this is right ? This file does not exits!

Code:

fopen:No such file or directory

Try to change in the directory of this file and use it without the "./"
