[Fail2ban-users] fail2ban does not give loglines in mail

[Sabine E. <fr...@at...>]

Hi,

as I did not get any reaction in #fail2ban on Freenode, I try it here:

I'm using fail2ban on a server running Debian Jessie. As configured it
sends me an email each time it bans an IP address. But in that mail the
part „Lines containing IP:<ip> in <logpath>“ is only followed by 3 empty
lines and then „Regards“; the actual loglines are missing, although the
IP gets banned.

So I guess it might be a problem with the grep command in
mail-whois-lines.conf? It works with mail.log, just not with access.log
(nginx or apache2).

Google or the fail2ban wiki were not helpful.

Greetings
Frosch
