Hi there,
I believe do-agent doesn’t use fixed IPs, it likely connects outbound to DigitalOcean’s monitoring endpoints, which are probably behind load balancers and can change over time.
Instead of IP whitelisting, you might be better off excluding the do-agent process or user (usually do-agent) in your fail2ban config to avoid false bans.
That said, I’d recommend reaching out to support to confirm this: https://do.co/support
