Learn more about [Crowdsec](https://crowdsec.net).

See the [crowdsec docs](https://docs.crowdsec.net/docs/local_api/intro/#machines) for information about registering a machine,
in most instances you can use the default credentials (`/etc/crowdsec/local_api_credentials.yaml`).

!!! note
Without the `limit24h` option, the widget will fetch all alerts which is limited to 100 by the API to avoid performance issues.

Allowed fields: `["alerts", "bans"]`.

```yaml
widget:
  type: crowdsec
  url: http://crowdsechostorip:port
  username: localhost # machine_id in crowdsec
  password: password
  limit24h: true # optional, limits alerts to last 24h. Default: false
```
