Asked by Hervé FABULET
I have owncloud in apache behind nginx. I try to ban bad guys by Fail2ban in nginx server. All is ok, log comes from owncloud, with real IP, and is reading by fail2ban. But all is missed all the time… I try many regex but with no results.
The line of log Feb 27 21:01:19 OWNCLOUD1 ownCloud[30242]: {core} Login failed: ‘xxxx.xxxx@xxx-xxx-xxx.com’ (Remote IP: ‘xx.xx.xx.xx’)
I try a lot, The last ‘.’ Login failed: '.’ (Remote IP: '<HOST>) ‘.*’
It’s not my first fail2ban, but… Thanks a lot for your response.

Ok I find the correct regex failregex = .: {core} Login failed: '.’ (Remote IP: ‘<HOST>’)
Hi theMiddle, thanks for your quick response But always trouble after I have changed owncloud.conf in filter.d,
Running tests
Use failregex filter file : owncloud, basedir: /etc/fail2ban Use log file : /var/log/clients/OWNCLOUD1.xxx-xxx-xxx.com/syslog.log Use encoding : UTF-8
Results
Failregex: 0 total
Ignoreregex: 0 total

but i verify in the log file, Mar 1 08:42:23 OWNCLOUD1 ownCloud[34887]: {core} Login failed: ‘essai’ (Remote IP: ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’)
Hi @globo
probably you should use something like the following:
failregex = ^.*Login failed.*Remote IP:.<HOST>..*$
