+==== Issue && Fixes ====
+== My server did not get started ==
+First thing try to run your server from command line.\\
+usually following command will do it.\\
+<code bash>
+/usr/bin/fail2ban-client -c /etc/fail2ban start
+</code>
+this will print the errors on your screen.\\
+resolve error or google it if dont know how to.
+== Sock file is not get removed during start ==
+check if this file exists.
+<code bash>
+/var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock
+</code>
+Your can fix that issue by adding -x in your startup script.\\
+This issue appear if your fail2ban is get started using "fail2ban-client".\\
+e.g.
+<code bash>
+/usr/bin/fail2ban-client -x -c /etc/fail2ban start
+</code>
+test test test.
+==== How to test regex for logs ====
+As good software it come with good utility called "fail2ban-regex"\\
+which help you to test your regex against your log as well your custom string.
+<code bash>
+fail2ban-regex /var/log/messages 'reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo [-/\w]+ .* \[<HOST>\] failed .*$'
+</code>
+OR
+<code bash>
+fail2ban-regex /var/log/messages 'Treason uncloaked! Peer <HOST>:.*$'
+</code>
+which provides you result if your strings match.\\
+==== 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
