Issue In Plesk GUI we need combined apache log option for all sites.

Hi,
Fail2ban performance and server load if all vhost logs are scanned using wildcard on log files. This is also warned.
No we manually add sites to Fail2ban log settings.
In General Settings -> Apache Web Server Settings would be nice have a such an option.
One combined access log for all sites ssl or non ssl.
This would even ban IP's faster on those that try on multiple sites same time.

You could enable "piped logs" in Tools & Settings => Apache Web Server Settings.
This will create a combined log file for all domains in /var/log/httpd (or /var/log/apache2) which you can use with Fail2ban

I don't know why Plesk is still using different logfiles for http and https for websites - as well as different webstats (AWStats/Webalizer) for that matter...

As for fail2ban and the "to many logfiles", go with Monty and enable piped logs for Apache2

Piped logs is in use. A bit too small log file 2.9M Jan 11 09:52 access_log. Strangely on other servers it is working.
Thanks.
