# Fail2ban Input Plugin
2017-06-21 19:42:13 +00:00
The fail2ban plugin gathers the count of failed and banned ip addresses using [fail2ban](https://www.fail2ban.org).

This plugin runs the `fail2ban-client` command which generally requires root access.
Acquiring the required permissions can be done using several methods:
2017-06-21 19:42:13 +00:00
- Use sudo run fail2ban-client.
- Run telegraf as root. (not recommended)

``` sudo
telegraf ALL=(root) NOEXEC: NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/fail2ban-client status, /usr/bin/fail2ban-client status *

```
### Configuration:

# Read metrics from fail2ban.
