Configuration

IP Blocker supports adding one or many conditions to determine if request resulting in an HTTP exception will be recorded and if the requesters I.P. address will be blocked.

Conditions

A condition can be added in the plugin settings and must consist of the following properties:

Pattern: A string or regular expression (excluding the surrounding /) that will be matched against the message of the top level, or previous, exception thrown by the request.
Max Attempts: The maximum number of allowed attempts matching the pattern before the I.P. address is blocked.
Detection Window: The window of time (in seconds) that failed requests are counted toward the maximum.
Block Time: The duration of time (in seconds) that an I.P. address is blocked after matching the pattern and meeting the maximum attempts.

Stats

Statistics for failed attempts against a condition and I.P. addresses that have been blocked are visible in the IP Blocker section of the CMS.
