I'm trying to make a script that display recent Ban, Found or Unban infos that are in fail2ban logs (/var/log/fail2ban), but I want to hide this selection for all lines :
,325 fail2ban.actions [424]: NOTICE [sshd]
In order to have this :
2022-07-02 18:15:17 Unban 192.168.200.20
And not this :
2022-07-02 18:15:17,325 fail2ban.actions [424]: NOTICE [sshd] Unban 192.168.200.20
Here is my code :
with open('/var/log/fail2ban.log', 'r') as f:
for line in f.readlines():
if 'Ban' in line:
print(line)
if 'Unban' in line:
print(line)
if 'Found' in line:
print(line)
You can use replace function .
with open('/var/log/fail2ban.log', 'r') as f:
for line in f.readlines():
line = line.replace('that string you dont want', '')
if 'Ban' in line:
print(line)
if 'Unban' in line:
print(line)
if 'Found' in line:
print(line)
