I recently purchased the pushover notification app for android due to a discount offer. As a result, I decide to integrate pushover notification with some Fedora services on my home server.
Fail2Ban
To enable pushover notification, I added a pushover-notify action to
/etc/fail2ban/action.d/pushover-notify.conf.
# Fail2Ban configuration file
#
[Definition]
# Notify on Startup
actionstart = /usr/bin/curl -s -F "token=" -F "user=" -F "title=[Fail2Ban]" -F "message=Jail has been started successfully." https://api.pushover.net/1/messages
# Notify on Shutdown
actionstop = /usr/bin/curl -s -F "token=" -F "user=" -F "title=[Fail2Ban]" -F "message=Jail has been stopped." https://api.pushover.net/1/messages
#
actioncheck =
# Notify on Banned
actionban = /usr/bin/curl -s -F "token=" -F "user=" -F "title=[Fail2Ban] banned" -F "message=Banned IP: Attempts: `geoiplookup `" https://api.pushover.net/1/messages
# Notify on Unbanned
actionunban =
[Init]
# Defaut name of the chain
#
name = default
# Application token key
#
token = PLACE_YOUR_APPLICATION_TOKEN_HERE
# User API key
#
user = PLACE_YOUR_USER_API_KEY_HERE
This action script uses
curl and
geoiplookup. Since I have SELinux enforced, I had to add policies to allow this action to run. Once done, I edit my
jail.conf to enable this action.
Smartd
Add the
curl command to the
/usr/libexec/smartmontools/smartdnotify.
Apcaccess
Finally, I added pushover notification to my UPS monitoring services to notify me for power blackout.
