Systemd

The .service file in this directory should be copied to the /etc/systemd/system/ folder.

It expects the binary file to be installed at /usr/sbin/fail2ban_exporter.
It expects a user named fail2ban_exporter to exist. This user should not have a shell or any special privileges aside from read-access to the fail2ban socket file.

The ExecStart line can be modified to add any custom CLI flags.
