Hi everyone!
My fail2ban log only shows entries of the last few hours. Sometimes it’s empty (I suspect only if nothing happend in the last hours).
I have no idea who is clearing the log. I was suspecting logrotate but I don’t see any old (rotated) logs.
I would like to understand the reason and have logs of the last days or even weeks.
Here are some infos that might help.
Logfile: /var/log/fail2ban.log (Usually only shows entries of the last few hours or so)
sudo cat /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.d/97_dietpi.conf

logtarget = /var/log/fail2ban.log
sudo cat /etc/logrotate.d/fail2ban
