Confirm bug
 
Hello, destan40!
Did you transfer your sites with "plesk bin transvhosts.pl" utility?
It updates fail2ban jails correctly but instead of editing "/etc/fail2ban/jail.d/plesk.conf" it stores changes in "/etc/fail2ban/jail.local" like:
Code:
# grep -C 2 logpath /etc/fail2ban/jail.local  
[plesk-apache]
enabled = true
logpath = /var/sites/system/*/logs/error_log
       /var/log/httpd/*error_log

[plesk-apache-badbot]
enabled = true
logpath = /var/sites/system/*/logs/*access*log
       /var/log/httpd/*access_log

You can find updated settings in Tools & Settings -> IP Address Banning (Fail2Ban) -> Jails -> plesk-apache.[/code]
