Option to disable service start/stop notifications

[deric]

Service start/stop notifications are generating too many emails. I don't want to disable email notifications completely, but only on these actions.

Probably the best approach seems to be overriding actionstart and actionstop defined in /etc/fail2ban/action.d/sendmail-common.conf with another config /etc/fail2ban/action.d/sendmail-common.local:

# Override the Fail2Ban defaults in sendmail-common.conf with these entries
[Definition]
# Disable email notifications of jails stopping or starting
actionstart =
actionstop =

Or is there some better way supported by this module?

As far as I know, this module does not support this feature. But you should take a look at config_file_hash which allows you to deploy your own files / templates. For example:

class { 'fail2ban':
  config_file_hash => {
    'sendmail-common.local' => {
      config_file_path   => '/etc/fail2ban/action.d/sendmail-common.local',
      config_file_source => 'puppet:///modules/profile/fail2ban/etc/fail2ban/action.d/sendmail-common.local',
    }
  }
}
