I have trouble setting up fail2ban to check the nginx error log for failed http auth entries. Even though the provided failregex works, fail2ban just seems to skip the jail config.
I've already tried setting loglevel to 4, but there's no info about any failure regarding the nginx jail. Also I figured the timestamp in the logfiles has to match the system time, which is of course the case already.
Strangely the other jail I have setup (ssh) works perfect. I'm out of ideas, maybe you got one. Here is hopefully all the info you need. Thanks.
fail2ban.conf

loglevel = 3
logtarget = /var/example/logs/fail2ban.log
socket = /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock

failregex = no user/password was provided for basic authentication.*client: <HOST>

user .* password mismatch.*client: <HOST>
ignoreregex =
fail2ban-regex /var/example/logs/nginx-error.log /var/example/config/fail2ban/filter.d/nginx-auth.conf
Running tests
=============
Use regex file : /var/example/config/fail2ban/filter.d/nginx-auth.conf
Use log file : /var/example/logs/nginx-error.log
