root@messagerie[10.10.10.19] ~ # fail2ban-client get loglevel
Current logging level is INFO
root@messagerie[10.10.10.19] ~ # zgrep -i found /var/log/fail2ban.log*
root@messagerie[10.10.10.19] ~ # 

Let's see if the setting is overriden somewhere ? 

root@messagerie[10.10.10.19] ~ # grep loglevel -r /etc/fail2ban/
/etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf:# loglevel = 4
/etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf:# Option: loglevel
/etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf:# loglevel = 3 changé à 4
/etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf:# loglevel remis à 4.
/etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf:loglevel = 3
/etc/fail2ban/filter.d/freeswitch.conf:# -- this requires a high enough 
loglevel on your logs to save these messages.
/etc/fail2ban/jail.conf:#   Make sure that your loglevel specified in 
fail2ban.conf/.local
/etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf~:# loglevel = 4
/etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf~:# Option: loglevel
/etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf~:# loglevel = 3 changé à 4
/etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf~:loglevel = 4
/etc/fail2ban/jail.conf~:#   Make sure that your loglevel specified in 
fail2ban.conf/.local
root@messagerie[10.10.10.19] ~ # 

There's only one entry that isn't commented, and that's loglevel = 3. Besides, 
changing the loglevel in jail.local seems to get ignored.

Maybe the version of f2b I'm using is too old ? 

root@messagerie[10.10.10.19] ~ # fail2ban-client --version
Fail2Ban v0.8.13
[...]
root@messagerie[10.10.10.19] ~ #

In any case, I decided to increment the loglevel to 4 and see if that helps, 
but I don't think this was a good idea :

Look at the timestamps :) I would need 10 billion terrabytes of disk space to 
log every milisecond of activity.
