Description

Whenever I configure fail2ban with "abuseIPDB" service ( https://www.abuseipdb.com ), the settings I added are always replaced by NCP fail2ban configuration.
It would be great that it could be possible to set the API key and the configuration of the service in the Fail2ban menu.
Unfortunately I'm not a developer for what I can only help with ideas and testing.

Research direction

Start by locating the Fail2ban menu and the NCP Fail2ban configuration that overwrites custom settings. Trace how the abuseIPDB service configuration is generated, including where an API key could be entered and preserved. Done means users can configure abuseIPDB through the Fail2ban menu without their settings being replaced.
