+==== Rotate log ====
+As your standard installation from distribution will generate log on the system.\\
+So it is necessary to rotate it to avoid any file limit.\\
+<code bash | /etc/logrotate.d/fail2ban>
+/var/log/fail2ban.log {
+    weekly
+    rotate 7
+    missingok
+    compress
+    size 4M
+    postrotate
+      /etc/init.d/fail2ban reload
+    endscript
+}
+</code>
+If you do not have init script you can use following code to reload fail2ban as postrotate command.
+<code bash>
+/usr/bin/fail2ban-client reload 1>/dev/null || true
+</code>
+NOTE : Path for fail2ban-client need to changed if you are using other than OpenSUSE
