# Fail2Ban Log Viewer

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/NullDev/Fail2Ban-Log-Viewer.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/NullDev/Fail2Ban-Log-Viewer)  [![GitHub license](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-blue.svg)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NullDev/Fail2Ban-Log-Viewer/master/LICENSE)

A script to print out the Fail2Ban log in a organized way.

## To get it working:

- Upload the script somewhere

- Log in to your SSH terminal

- make it executable with 

  `chmod +x fail2ban.sh`

- and finally launch it with

  `./fail2ban.sh`

  

That's it.

## Features:

- Display Hostname and IP

- Display IP and Auth Method used (For example SSH or Nginx Auth)

- Allows a user specified path inside the script

- Fallback path if user specified path fails

- Auto-Search feature if Fallback path and user path fail

- Purge/Clear the Fail2Ban.log after displaying

  Example: `./fail2ban.sh --clear` or `./fail2ban.sh -c`

  

- Use new path if file was found

- Check if Fail2Ban is installed

- Able to pass CLI Argument `-p` or `--path` to use a custom path for the log file at start.

  

  Example: `./fail2ban.sh -p /your/log/path.log` or `./fail2ban.sh --path /your/log/path.log`

- Able to handle unknown CLI Arguments, aswell as `--help`, `-h` or `-?`

  

  Example: `./fail2ban.sh --help`, `./fail2ban.sh -h` or `./fail2ban.sh -?`

- CLI Argument `--force` or `-f` which forces the start and doesn't prompt for input

- More comming soon!
