What version of Fail2Ban? ( $ fail2ban-server -V )

What happens when you grep from the command line?

grep '111.222.111.222' /var/log/apache2/access.log

Change the IP of course and see what the above returns to you.

The grep being run in the mail-whois-lines.conf of v0.8.11 does this:
 "`grep '\<<ip>\>' <logpath>`\n\n"

The grep being run in the mail-whois-lines.conf of v0.9.3 does it differently.
`grep -E <grepopts> '(^|[^0-9])<ip>([^0-9]|$)' <logpath>`\n\n

Have you checked your Fail2ban.log for any warning or messages?

Are your apache and nginx logs in a standard format?

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
