Hello!

I’ve already thought about it myself. In theory, it should not be difficult - to add in folder /etc/fail2ban/action.d file with something like

actionban = cscli decisions add --ip \< ip \> --duration \< duration \> --reason \< reason \>

And then call the jail.local.

I am now carefully reading the documentation, I just started to master CrowdSec, so I am in no hurry to implement something - I suddenly subtract a better solution.
