Question How to make fail2ban logpath aware of logs in Plesk managed domains

I'm using Nextcloud and want to set its logfile to fail2ban's logpath. But when I specify the Nextcloud log(/var/www/vhosts/MYACCOUT/nextcloud/data/nextcloud.log), fail2ban gets failed.
It seems that fail2ban can only be specified in /var/log or some other area. For example, I can't specify "/var/www/vhosts/MYACCOUT/logs/test.log" or "/var/www/vhosts/MYACCOUT/test.log" as logpath to start fail2ban.

How can I specify a directory in Plesk management to fail2ban?
 
I had forgotten about SELINUX. So it seems to be blocked. If I Permissive or disable, fail2ban works.
I mechanically set SELINUX according to the official manual.

The following is directed by it
Code:
semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t '/var/www/html/nextcloud/data(/.*)?'

This specifies all files under the data directory, right?
So I tried deleting only the nextcloud.log setting in the data directory.

Code:
semanage fcontext -d '/var/www/html/nextcloud/data/nextcloud.log'
Then the error message "not defined" will appear. Of course, path is replaced with my correct information.

I want to protect the data directory itself with selinux, but only open the log file. How can I do this?
