patrickbr / piwik-loginfaillog Goto Github PK

Hi Patrick,
I am feeling very stupid right now, so excuse the stupid question: Where is the output of your plugin logged?! I have a running Matomo instance and I have a running Fail2Ban instance. I understand the filters basically and I got something like this to work for Nextcloud. The only thing I am apparently missing is where to point my jail config.
Can you help here?

Thanks in advance!

On Piwik grater then 4.0.0 the plugin gets disabled. See plugin list and the message from Matomo System Check.

The plugin LoginFailLog could not be loaded as it has missing dependencies: LoginFailLog requires Piwik <4.0.0-b1. Please contact your Matomo administrator.

Please update the plugin, if possible, for the latest releases.

Hi!

Can you make the plugin compatible with Matomo 4?
It will be MUCH appreciated!

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your work. Perhaps it is apparent to everyone else except me how to implement this.

1. need to setup piwik to log to file ... (my default installation was logging to screen only)
2. In case I manage to write (eventually) your entry to the "main" auth.log I have modified your php code to make a log entry "Failed PIWIK login ..." to distinguish piwik login failures from others in the same log.
3. Created a matching filter to use that log entry ... and saved in /etc/fail2ban/filters.d/
4. need to set up a jail with path to the piwik log ... (/path to piwik/tmp/logs/piwik.log) and using the above filter.
5. restart fail2ban on your server

Tested by logging in (from another IP via VPN) - failed login recorded in log file and fail2ban blocking access for the IP ... YEAH!
If you like the these files for posting here or on your site - please let me know (not yet familiar with the proper etiquette here ... :-)
