Virtual plugin

Enables the use of “virtual” Streams and “virtual” Actions.

A virtual action feeds a virtual stream.

It permits to have a second-level stream to perform another actions. This second-level permits for example to ban recidivist IPs for a longer time.

systemd options

This plugin does not require any systemd option.

{
  plugins: {
    virtual: {
      path: '/usr/bin/reaction-plugin-virtual',
    },
  },
}

plugins:

    path: /usr/bin/reaction-plugin-virtual

Configuration

First setup one or more virtual streams:

{
  streams: {
    recidive: {
      type: 'virtual',
      filters: {
        // ...
      }
    },
  },
}

streams:
  recidive:
    type: virtual
    filters:
      # ...

Then you can add actions that will feed this virtual stream:

{
  streams: {
    ssh: {
      // ...
      filters: {
        failedlogin: {
          // ...
          actions: banFor('4h') + {
            recidive: {
              type: 'virtual',
              options: {
                send: '<ip>',
                to: 'recidive',
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

streams:
  ssh:
    # ...
    filters:
      failedlogin:
        # ...
        actions:
          ban:
            # ...
          unban:
            # ...
          recidive:
            type: virtual
            options:
              send: '<ip>'
              to: recidive

send must be a string that can contain patterns enclosed in <>, just as Filter regex and Action cmd.

to must be the name of a virtual stream.
