Start with DH's log, in Linux its /var/log/denyhosts, look for the
startup of service where all the values for the parameters are shown,
check those for sanity.

Then make a test or wait for a failed attempt (watching both secure.log
and denyhosts log).

A successful login will look like "loginattempt: INFO     resetting
count..."; an unsuccessful (number of times varies depending if it is in
restricted and threshold) looks like "denyhosts   : INFO     new denied
hosts:..."

If you still need more information, use debug mode (stop the service and
run DH as root with the debug and verbose parameters).
