Hello guys,

We've been using CSF for over a year now and are really satisfied. We use it on more than 300 servers.

I would like to know if there is a way to manage all of these installations remotely at once to modify a value, like add an IP to allow, upgrade.

Something like "Mass actions".

There is already an option to manage just one list of Allowed or Denied IPs, look for Global Allow and Global Deny. You can add this option to all your servers and you will need to update only one file that all your servers can use.

Thanks Sergio,

But what we're looking for does a little more. Looking for a way to do tasks across the whole network.

-Udate CSF
-Modify ps_limits, etc..

Well it could be done with a bash file, but that is another story. I think Chirpy is the one to answer your question regarding a centralized admin of CSF.

Yes, we're working on a bash file or a php script with a web interface, just trying not to reinvent the wheel.

I'll wait for Chirpy to chirp any suggestions

Thanks in any case, Sergio !

This has now been introduced with the lfd Clustering feature. It's a very quick and effective system of allowing cluster-wide blocks, allows, removals and configuration changes.

Great!

Where can we read up on this ? Can't fin it on your site.

Thanks!

I think I have enabled clustering between two servers. What is a a good way to see if it is working?

Issue a ping on one of the servers:

csf -cp

You should see a PING being reported in the lfd.log of all the receiving servers.

cool, that works... and I see there is now some cluster items in the gui. Do automatically banned IP's get published to the cluster? Is there an option for that?
