U will try the 'all ports' for sure, that was what I wanted.
Logwatch, as it comes with centos, does not have any scripts at all for 
fail2ban, mine were pretty devoid of anything
I added the 7.4 stuff and am playing with it now.
I have seen no logging yet of any attempts nor do I know any way of 
seeing if it works.
will post final solution if I ever see it working.
