[Fail2ban-users] Limit on amount of log files

[Dmitriy P. <de...@gm...>]

Hi all,

First of all thank you for such a good tool!!!.
My question is - is there any limits on amount of logs that can be added 
for monitoring under one jail? I tried to add nearly 3000+ log files 
(shared hosting server) into one jail and got completely unresponsible 
fail2ban server. After some investigation I found that in case of adding 
logs by batches in 100 files through fail2ban-client with pause in 15-20 
seconds between adding attempts, it is possible to load all of them, but:
- It is impossible to get list of monitored logs for this jail
- fail2ban server stops to respond on /etc/init.d/fail2ban 
status/stop/start commands
while in same time fail2ban continue to work properly and even bans IP 
addresses

Regards,

Dmitriy
