Bug Description
According to the /usr/share/
`````
* Enabled Sections:
Only handling of ssh files is enabled by default. If you want to use
fail2ban with apache, please enable apache section manually in
/etc/fail2ban/
[apache]
enabled = true
`````
However including those lines will cause Fail2ban error as there's no filter called "apache":
`````
Lin-Buo-
filter.
filter.
filter.
filter.
filter.
filter.
`````
The documentation should be adjusted to not simply include those lines, but to customizing them to the [apache-*] sections.
