Resolved Can't switch on fail2ban jail

[LytraX]

I switched off plesk-apache-badbot under Tools & Settings > IP Address Banning > Jails and I can't see a "Switch On" button as shown here Fail2Ban Jails Management :



There is no such button on my Plesk Obsidian 18.0.36:



Is this some kind of a bug or do I have to trigger something in order to get the "Switch On" button to appear?

Thank you Igor for the fast response. That worked.

But 'intrusion detection' enables just the recidive jail - or am I wrong?

@DieterWerner my understanding is that when we disable fail2ban having "intrusion detection" unchecked, we don't get to see the "Switch On" button and we only get to see it only when we enable it. Maybe I'm wrong and I think I didn't have it enabled at all but now I have it checked and I get to see the "Switch On" button and of course re-enabled the deactivated F2B jail.

You have done that very well ...
