Openresty bouncer not working?
Since discovering that my bouncer wasn't properly working yesterday I've completly reworked my reverse proxy setup.
Now I'm using an Ubuntu 22.04 machine running openresty. Yet I can't seem to get the bouncer working with my LAPI (LAPI says bouncer never pulled info from API). I have the include line in the nginx.conf.
This is my config:...
whitelist from file
Hi all!
I have a custom script modifying a whitelist file that can be downloaded from a website.
I have set a whitelist up with the data attribute (source_url, dest_file, type) and I'm wondering if it automatically downloads the file periodically, or only whenever crowdsec restarts.
Any help is much appreciated....
Whitelist not working?
Hi all,
it seems like I've been getting my own IP banned even though I have a whitelist in place... My whitelist is placed in postoverflows is that still ok? As I don't see it popping up in the metrics of my LAPI. I also have the whitelist installed on all servers in the distributed server setup, is that needed?
Thanks!...

Crowdsec docker_host
How does one confirm crowdsec can see my containers via dockersocket? Do I still have to list them via acquis.yaml? For example I added the radarr-bf and radarr parser I can see it listed in metrics but it’s not parsing??

Chaining bouncer inside access_by_lua_block
Hi everyone! I'm setting up an OpenResty bouncer but I need it chain it before a different module (which is a custom DDoS protection script) so that the module that follows after the bouncer is the final one that completes the request. My
access_by_lua_block
is roughly as follows:
```lua
-- snip
local bouncer = require "lua/bouncer"...Active bans with Prometheus
Hi, I have set up crowdsec with Prometheus metrics and it is working fine.
I am trying to understand how to monitor active bans using the exposed Prometheus metrics.
From what I understand, I can use
cs_active_decisions
which shows a gauge per scenario and cs_alerts
which also is a gauge of the number of alerts (excluding CAPI). But I don't understand the values of these gauges, what do they represent ?
For example, I have this metrics exposed cs_active_decisions{action="ban",origin="CAPI",reason="crowdsecurity/http-admin-interface-probing"} 320
but using cscli decisions list
there are only two bans actives for this scenario. How to interpret the number 320
?
Thanks for your help !...appsec ip

Injection of a banned IPv4

CrowdSec Mikrotik Bouncer fails to add banned ip to address list
it mainly works but but every few hours some banned address is not added to address list, until I manually reboot the docker container, then it appears. What could be the culprit?
here's an example of failed add: the event was not logged at all in the mikrotik container, here's an extraction at ban's time
