    Fail2ban Issue WARNING 'actionstart' not defined in 'Definition'.

    Every time when I reload/restart the fail2ban it gives several warning like bellow.

    "WARNING 'actionstart' not defined in 'Definition'. Using default one: ''

    What could be the reason for this? How do I fix it? Should I fix it or just leave as it's?

    I face this issue if I use banaction = route, this is my route.conf file. I use default route.conf file, but I can't see it has action start and action stop.

    # This is for blocking whole hosts through blackhole routes.
    #
    # PRO:
    # - Works on all kernel versions and as no compatibility problems (back to debian lenny and WAY further).
    # - It's FAST for very large numbers of blocked ips.
    # - It's FAST because it Blocks traffic before it enters common iptables chains used for filtering.
    # - It's per host, ideal as action against ssh password bruteforcing to block further attack attempts.
    # - No additional software required beside iproute/iproute2
    #
    # CON:
    # - Blocking is per IP and NOT per service, but ideal as action against ssh password bruteforcing hosts

    [Definition]
    actionban = ip route add <blocktype> <ip>
    actionunban = ip route del <blocktype> <ip>

    [Init]

    # Option: blocktype
    # Note: Type can be blackhole, unreachable and prohibit. Unreachable and prohibit correspond to the ICMP reject messages.
    # Values: STRING
    blocktype = unreachable
