ignore "root login" emails from designated list

Post by SoftDux »

Hi,

Can you please add a feature where was can add a list of IP's, which when that IP logs into the server, LFD won't send out an email saying root was logged in succesfully.

We have many servers running on CloudMin, which monitors the server every 5 minutes (uptime, disk / RAM / CPU / IO / etc usage) so every server generates an email saying root was logged into.

1. this generates a lot of unnecessary traffic, which costs money at the end of the day
2. it also generates a lot of unnecessary emails to our support staff.

That's what csf.ignore does.

oh really?

How would I add "root@venus", "root@pluto", "root@mars", etc to be ignored to that file?

Yes, really.

You add the IP address you want to ignore SSH logins from, which is what you mentioned in your first post.

You cannot ignore specific accounts, which you did not mention in your first post.

mm, I see.

Sorry, I thought the subject line would have covered that. My bad.
So it will then ignore any and all logins, not just root?

The ignore option is purely based on the IP address regardless of what is being connected to. It isn't any more granular than that.
