I have read through the forum's and can't figure out why my Custom Trigger isn't firing...

So, I have a web application which is writing the following to a log file upon Failed Login Attempt.

I am using PHP Error Log Function to write the Failed Attempt

Code: Select all

error_log("{$x} {$_POST['username']} {$y} {$z} {$zz}", 0);

This Generates a Log Entry in the "/var/log/httpd/error_log" as such:

Code: Select all

[Tue May 10 10:23:58 2016] [error] [client 10.80.32.45] Failed Login for User:  from IP: 10.80.32.45 port 443 https, referer: http:///

I have added the following to the "/etc/csf/regex.custom.pm"

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl

sub custom_line {
       my $line = shift;
       my $lgfile = shift;
# Do not edit above this point
###############################################################################
# Blank User Name
if (($globlogs{CUSTOM1_LOG}{$lgfile}) and ($line =~ /^.*Failed Login for User:.*$/)) {
return ("Failed Login from",$1,"rcflogin","5","30");
      }
#       }
###############################################################################
# Do not edit beyond this point
       return 0;
}
1;

I have edited the "/etc/csf/csf.conf" as follows:

Code: Select all

CUSTOM1_LOG = "/var/log/httpd/error_log"
LF_SELECT = 0

I have confirmed that my regex statements work against the log file..

can anyone point me to something to help debug?

FYI.

Figured out the issue...
Even though the regular expression passed on the "checker", it was failing when run through regex.custom.pm... I am new to regex..

Solution that worked was :

Code: Select all

/^.*Failed Login for User.*from IP: (\S+).*/
