I have backend = pyinotify installed with Ubuntu which apparently is first 
choice on the auto list. I’m a little confused about your later comment (below)

where are you looking?

Something I’ve found useful for checking things are loaded while running 
recidive (as you can’t use debug mode as it can infinitely loop) is

fail2ban-client -dvv status 2>&1 | less 

that outputs files/ regexes/ what’s turned on etc.. the vv gives about 25 more 
extra lines in my set up, than the -v flag alone and it’s redirected from 
stderr as otherwise you don’t get all the information in less or grep.
