Resolved Could you please explain changes to the Fail2Ban jails in 18.0.63 in more detail?

Server operating system version

Alma 8 and 9

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.62, 18.0.63

According to another post, the "recidive" jail has been replaced by two new jails "plesk-one-week-ban.conf" and "plesk-permanent-ban.conf". We're using custom software and definitions that partly rely on the "recidive" chain and .conf. I'd like to know more what the two new confs do, whether recidive is kept and how they play together.

[...], the "recidive" jail has been replaced by two new jails "plesk-one-week-ban.conf" and "plesk-permanent-ban.conf".

That's incorrect. The recidive jail hasn't been replaced. Two new jails have been introduced: plesk-one-week-ban and plesk-permanent-ban

We're using custom software and definitions that partly rely on the "recidive" chain and .conf. I'd like to know more what the two new confs do, whether recidive is kept and how they play together.

The two new jails are for adding manual IP bans via the Plesk GUI. There have been no modifications to recidive jail or to the way recidive jail functions.

Great, thank you!
