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.
# Fail2Ban configuration file

# Author: Michael Gebetsroither
#
# 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
