Whitelist dev box with Fail2Ban

Well all I’m seeing in /var/logs/fail2ban.log is this:

2021-02-24 23:35:33,087 fail2ban.filter         [670]: INFO    [ssh] Found 68.225.60.23 - 2021-02-24 23:35:33
2021-02-24 23:35:33,193 fail2ban.filter         [670]: INFO    [sshd] Found 68.225.60.23 - 2021-02-24 23:35:33

2021-02-24 23:35:33,247 fail2ban.actions        [670]: NOTICE  [ssh] Ban 68.225.60.23

2021-02-24 23:45:34,133 fail2ban.actions        [670]: NOTICE  [sshd] Unban 68.225.60.23

Is there another place to look?

Also, I seem to have solved the problem by:

  1. Disabling fail2ban: sudo systemctl stop fail2ban
  2. Re-provision the fail2ban tag: trellis provision --tags fail2ban staging

I could still use some clarity on if the IP of the provisioning computer is automatically whitelisted with fail2ban.
