This isn't really a bug but rather the default file path for the jail doesn't exist on your system. Try changing your log paths for the apache-badbots Jail to:
/var/www/vhosts/system/*/logs/*access_log
/var/log/httpd/*access_log
To do this, click on the jail itself, click "Change Settings" and in the log path file, paste the two path values you see above. Click OK and then try to turn on the jail.
Please post back here with your results!
/var/www/vhosts/system/*/logs/*access_log
/var/log/httpd/*access_log

Is this the stock Fail2Ban module installation from Parallels installed via Plesk or did you install this on your own?

Thats not help. Thats fail2ban from plesk! I have deinstalled this component and installed again, but get still the same errors:
3proxy
apache-badbots
=> started
apache-modsecurity
apache-nohome
apache-overflows
..... (not tested)
ssh-iptables
=> started
ssh-iptables-ipset4
I stopped here.... why is this NOT a bug? That component is not workable with centOS 6.6 and plesk 12.

Use plesk-apache-badbot instead.
Plesk shows all existing jails which may be installed from fail2ban package, but this 'default' jails may doesn't work because of server configuration.
In case ERROR No file(s) found for glob /var/www/*/logs/access_log - this means that you have no such files because your virtual hosts are stored in another path.
Additionaly for package default jails, Plesk provides own jails
plesk-apache
plesk-apache-badbot
plesk-courierimap
plesk-horde
plesk-panel
plesk-postfix
plesk-proftpd
plesk-roundcube
which should always work because they are creating with taking in account of server configuration where plesk is installed.

Please Stop. Don't mix false facts.
Correct, my start post have a false "logpath". But that your(plesk) mistake, not mine. After re-install fail2ban module, the path is now magical correct. See: http://talk.plesk.com/threads/bug-fail2ban-not-working.332449/#post-777266
I think that my configuration is identical to yours. The right path is for all
/var/www/vhosts/system/*/logs/access_log
not!
/var/www/*/logs/access_log
Your plesk said this too:
logpath = /var/www/vhosts/system/*/logs/*access*log
So why was this path few days ago wrong and you tell me now the mistake is by me? I have nothing change an this filter or my system.
Sorry to said this, but that module is full of misconfiguration. Here a simple proof:
apache-badbots => logpath = /var/log/httpd/*access_log
apache-modsecurity => logpath = /var/log/apache*/*error.log
EDIT: Here another:
ssh-iptables => logpath = /var/log/secure
ssh-iptables-ipset4 => logpath = /var/log/sshd.log
--------------
Thats another general problem of this module: http://talk.plesk.com/threads/questions-to-fail2ban.332445/
As first time user I see not what is the difference between "apache-badbot" and "plesk-apache-badbot". My first thought is, that "plesk-apache-badbot" is ONLY für plesk gui. Why is here not a short description for each filter?
Why there exists two modules that make the same?
