I had installed fail2ban in webmin, at the time to enable any jail name like ssh or roundcube-auth, it gave following error : Error Failed to save jail : All log files must be absolute paths or patterns

Status: 
Needs work

What paths are in the Log file paths box on your system?

Howdy -- there is a problem using Fail2ban on CentOS 7. This is something we're currently looking deeper into.

This specific problem (of a log file path being a variable defined elsewhere in fail2ban) will be fixed in the next WEbmin release though.

Good, now, I can start and stop Fail2Ban server but Filter Action Jails gives below error when trying to enable any Jail name (all are by default disabled).

Which Webmin version is it that you're using there?

Note that we haven't released an updated webmin with a fix for this yet.

Webmin 1.791 is my current version.
