Solved How to disable BFM in DirectAdmin

[AhmetBas]

Default DirectAdmin installation installs CSF in combination with DirectAdmin BFM. What is the correct way to disable BFM for DirectAdmin servers if you use Imunify360 for example?

First result when I use the term "disable BFM directadmin" without the brackets.

Securing with Brute Force Monitor | Directadmin Docs

DirectAdmin Knowledge Base

docs.directadmin.com

Where it says:
bruteforce=1

Global enable/disable switch for a Brute Force Monitor service.

So I would set this to 0, should be placed in directadmin.conf if not present yet.

As it reads, it should disable BFM completely however, if that is not the case, you can use the below and set it to 0 also.
brute_force_log_scanner=1

Don't forget to restart directadmin after making changes.

Thanks for your answer. I get a lot of false-positive when using Imunify360 and BFM. I was not entirely sure that this was the correct variable but this did the trick!
