Hi All, 

I am in need of some assistance.  I've been trying to get OSSEC to respond 
to mod security events by banning IP addresses that generate events of 
level 6+.  

1-) I have apache error logs configured and piped to 
/var/log/apache2/error.log
2-) ModSecurity events are correctly being sent to the error log:

[Thu Jul 16 14:25:18.746621 2015] [:error] [pid 17398] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] 
ModSecurity: Access denied with code 403 (phase 1). Pattern match 
"wp-login.php" at REQUEST_URI. [file 
"/usr/share/modsecurity-crs/activated_rules/modsecurity_crs_61_customrules.conf"]
 
[line "49"] [id "999946"] [hostname "www.xxx.com"] [uri "/wp-login.php"] 
[unique_id "Vaf3DgoFB9wAAEP2b4MAAAAE"]

3-) When I create a rule with <srcip>!xx.xx.xx.xx</srcip> in the 
local_rules.xml file that rule no longer fires for xx.xx.xx.xx which is 
expected.  I did that to test and make sure that scrip was being properly 
extracted.  

4-) When I remove the <srcip>!xx.xx.xx.xx</srcip>  the rule fires just 
fine, I see the event in the alerts.
5-) Active Response is never called and xx.xx.xx.xx is not blocked.  That 
said, active response is triggered by other servers with other events and 
those events are resulting in blocks. 
6-) It appears that active response is not called for the web server 
www.xxx.com (but in the active responses log file I do see entires, and 
when I do iptables -L there are entries, none of them come from www.xxx.com 
they all come from mail).
7-) My OSSEC location for active response is set to ALL.

Any ideas?
