Add new metric to track the total number of jails configured in fail2ban.
Add new metrics for the current and total number of filter failures for
each jail, as well as the current/total number of banned IPs per jail.
The new metrics are collected by sending the `status [jail]` command to the
fail2ban server and parsing the response data.
Read the response data from the socket in chunks to prevent errors when
processing large payloads. The initial implementation solved large payloads
by just defining a very large buffer, but this is not a solution. The new
code reads the socket data in a loop until a terminator is found and
appends all the data into a single byte array.
Reduce the buffer size to `1024` bytes.
Add support for connecting the exporter directly to the fail2ban server's
socket to send requests and receive data. The path to the socket file is
optional and specified on startup.
Export a new metric based on the response of the `ping` command sent to the
fail2ban server. The metric is set to 1 if the server responds with `pong`
and 0 in any other case. This metric is only shown if the path to the
socket file was provided on startup.
Update the database query counting the number of banned IPs to filter out
any bans that have already expired. An expired ban is defined as a ban
where the "time of ban" plus the "duration of ban" is less than the
current time.
This is necessary because bans that have expired are not automatically
removed from the database and will cause metrics to diverge from the counts
reported by `fail2ban-client`.
Add a new metric to count the number of database errors that have been
found since startup. This complements the `up` metric to have better
visibility into occasional database errors.
The `up` metric is now based on whether an error was found while reading
data from the database to build other metrics. Note that there is a chance
the `up` metric will not be correctly set if the last metric to be built
before the `up` metric does not throw an error.
Add a new prometheus metric to track which jails are currently enabled.
Add a new database query to read the jail name and enabled status from the
database.
Add new metric to readme file.
Update the project structure to move all golang files to a new `src/`
folder. This keeps all the code located in the same place and easier to
work with.
Update the Makefile and goreleaser config to continue to work with the new
folder structure.
