4. Metrics
## 1. Introduction
The exporter can collect metrics from 2 locations: the fail2ban server socket and the fail2ban server database.
This exporter collects metrics from a running fail2ban instance.
Once the exporter is running, metrics are available at `localhost:9191/metrics`.

This tool exports several metrics *per jail*, meaning that it is possible to track how many IPs are being banned in each jail as well as the overall total.
This can be useful to track what services are seeing more failed logins.
### 4.1. Socket-based Metrics
### 4.1. Fail2Ban Metrics
These are the metrics exported by reading data from the fail2ban server socket.
All metrics are prefixed with `f2b_`.
