I'd also recommend installing etckeeper, not just for fail2ban but for 
tracking any edits to files in /etc. I've got it installed on my CentOS 
servers and my Raspberry Pi. It's in their package repos so you can use 
yum/dnf/apt to install it.

You'll need to learn a few git commands to commit your edits once you're 
satisfied with them. "git add" and "git commit" are 99% of what you'll use.

I recommend disabling etckeeper's daily autocommit and the pre-commit 
for package updates, so you won't forget to manually commit your own 
edits with an appropriate change comment.
