How can I integrate these 스포츠중계 alerts into a full self-hosted security dashboard (Grafana, Loki, Prometheus)?

If you're serious about server hardening and visibility, integrating Fail2Ban, NGINX, and your VPN/Plex logs into a centralized, self-hosted monitoring stack gives you real-time dashboards, historical analytics, and visual threat intelligence — all from your own infrastructure.

Here’s a battle-tested guide to building a full self-hosted security observability stack using:

  • ???? Prometheus – Metrics collection

  • ???? Grafana – Dashboards

  • ???? Loki – Log aggregation

  • ???? Promtail – Log shipper

  • ????️ Fail2Ban + NGINX + VPN logs – Data sources

[Fail2Ban / NGINX / VPN Logs] ↓ Promtail ↓ Loki ←→ Grafana Dashboards ↑ Prometheus (system metrics, Fail2Ban status)


????️ Step-by-Step 스포츠중계 Setup


✅ 1. Install Grafana, Loki, Promtail, Prometheus (Docker-based setup recommended)

Here’s a minimal Docker Compose example:


 

yaml

복사편집

version: '3' services: grafana: image: grafana/grafana ports: - 3000:3000 volumes: - grafana-storage:/var/lib/grafana loki: image: grafana/loki ports: - 3100:3100 command: -config.file=/etc/loki/config.yml volumes: - ./loki-config.yml:/etc/loki/config.yml promtail: image: grafana/promtail volumes: - /var/log:/var/log - ./promtail-config.yml:/etc/promtail/config.yml prometheus: image: prom/prometheus ports: - 9090:9090 volumes: - ./prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml volumes: grafana-storage:


✅ 2. Configure Promtail to Ship Logs to Loki

Sample promtail-config.yml:


 

yaml

복사편집

server: http_listen_port: 9080 grpc_listen_port: 0 positions: filename: /tmp/positions.yaml clients: - url: http://loki:3100/loki/api/v1/push scrape_configs: - job_name: system-logs static_configs: - targets: - localhost labels: job: system __path__: /var/log/*.log - job_name: fail2ban static_configs: - targets: - localhost labels: job: fail2ban __path__: /var/log/fail2ban.log - job_name: nginx static_configs: - targets: - localhost labels: job: nginx __path__: /var/log/nginx/*.log


✅ 3. Connect Loki + Prometheus to Grafana

  1. Access Grafana: http://localhost:3000

  2. Default credentials: admin/admin

  3. Add Loki as a data source (for logs)

  4. Add Prometheus as a data source (for metrics)


✅ 4. Set Up 스포츠중계 Dashboards

You can use pre-built dashboards or create your own:

  • Fail2Ban Grafana Dashboard (ID: 11000)

  • NGINX Access Logs Dashboard

  • Prometheus Node Exporter Full (ID: 1860)

Dashboards can show:

  • Real-time IP ban spikes

  • Top banned IPs by jail

  • NGINX 403/401/429 patterns

  • VPN session tracking

  • Geo-distribution of threats


???? Bonus Integrations

???? Alerting with Grafana

  • Add Slack, Telegram, Discord, or Email as alert notifiers

  • Create conditions (e.g., “>10 bans in 5 mins”) → Trigger alert

???? GeoIP Mapping with Worldmap Panel

  • Use ip2location or MaxMind + logs

  • Create a worldmap showing where bans are coming from


???? Security Tips

  • Set Grafana behind your VPN or reverse proxy with auth

  • Enable Grafana access logging

  • Keep Prometheus read-only via reverse proxy if needed


???? Summary
