You only need the systemd for fail2ban if that is how Centos is set up.
Systemd is a replacement for SysV,. It also has some basic security and
a replacement for syslog built in. I don't know if it is better but that
is what came out of the box for Fedora so that is what I use. The log
files are stored in a binary format in journal files and are accessed
with the journalctl application. The use dydtemd backend in fail2ban
uses a python package to access the journal. since the error is "access
denied " the usually means the file you are looking for is there but the
account you are using does not have read access for it. If Selinux is
causing the access denied, the quick way to test is use setenforce 0. If
after that if you still can not access the files then the problem is
either with you group assignment for file permissions.
