Help Needed: CrowdSec Configuration Error

1

Hey everyone,

I hope you’re all doing great!

I’ve been having some trouble with my CrowdSec setup and was hoping someone might be able to lend a hand. I’m encountering a CrowdSec Configuration Error that’s been a bit of a headache. I’ve double-checked my configuration file, but it seems like something’s not quite right.

Here’s a brief overview of the issue:

  • Error Message: Error: Configuration file not found or malformed. Please check the syntax and file path.
  • Configuration File: I’m using the default configuration with a few tweaks, such as custom log file paths and adjusted rate limits. Here’s a snippet of my config:
crowdsec:
  log_file: /var/log/crowdsec.log
  api_key: my_secret_api_key
  alerts:
    - alert_level: high
      threshold: 10

I have been through resources CrowdSec Configuration | CrowdSec how to get ccsp certification and as per them I have tried the following-

I’ve restarted the CrowdSec service, checked the file permissions, and verified the log paths. I also ran crowdsec -config-check to validate the configuration, but the error persists. But didn’t get success.

Has anyone else run into a similar problem or have any ideas on what might be going wrong? Any suggestions or guidance would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best Regards

All of this configuration doesn’t exist in the documentation that you linked? Where did you see this as this is not an actual configuration this is the error.
