What is "regular fail2ban"? Do you mean fail2ban-server?
fail2ban records the last position in the log file that it read. This way f2b
does not need to scan to whole file every time it opens the log, it just moves
to the last read position. If the log file does appear to be new or changed, f2b
will find nothing new to test.
Yes . . . fail2ban-server.
Looking at my test, you can see that I copied logs into the testing log file,
so that fail2ban would see the new entries.
