+#  - See https://appriseit.com/services/ for details on what is supported.
+#  - See https://appriseit.com/getting-started/configuration/ for information
+#    on how to prepare an Apprise configuration file.
 #
-
+#    This plugin requires that Apprise is installed on your system:
+#
+#       pip install apprise
+#
+#    Breakdown:
+#       config   provide a path to an Apprise Config file
+#                The default is /etc/fail2ban/apprise.conf if not provided.
+#                Both YAML and TEXT formats are supported.
+#                You can even point your configuration to an Apprise API
+#                endpoint.
+#
+#       args     Provide additional arguments to support the Apprise CLI.
+#                See https://appriseit.com/cli/usage/ for additional options.
+#                the --tag (-g) is incredibly useful for integrating with
+#                fail2ban as you can exclusively have it target specific
+#                notifications this way.
+#
+#    Config Example #1: Simple
+#      1. Create a /etc/fail2ban/apprise.conf
+#         ```
+#         # /etc/fail2ban/apprise.conf
+#         fail2ban=mailto://user:pass@example.com
+#         ```
+#      2  In /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf
+#         ```
+#         # ...
+#         action = %(action_)s
+#                  apprise[args='--tag fail2ban']
+#         # ...
+#         ```
+#
+#    Config Example #2: YAML an Custom path
+#      1. Create a /etc/fail2ban/apprise.conf
+#         ```
+#         # /etc/fail2ban/apprise.yaml
+#         urls:
+#           - mailto://user:pass@example.com:
+#              tags: f2b
+#         ```
+#      2. In /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf
