Issue Website registration check not working with ubuntu 22

Eprinsa

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.56
When entering this option we do not see any records, even though we have configured the tool to launch automatically daily at 06:25 every 60 minutes.
When trying to launch the manual check, the following error appears:

logparser failed: ERROR: Failed to construct 'audit-modsec-with-ts' step

Previously we had Ubuntu 18 with python 3.6, and the tool worked correctly.

any suggestions?

P.D.: Attached screenshot with the error, although in Spanish, sorry

What ruleset are you using for modsec?
In the tests we left the default Apache rules (Modsecurity 2.9), with the 'Comfortable' option and without custom directives.
We have also tried with some Nginx 3.0 rules, but always with the same error.

It's an unknown issue here, so probably contacting Plesk support at https://support.plesk.com will be best if it cannot be solved by community assistance.
Ok, I will wait a few days in case someone has the same problem and found a solution, otherwise I will write to support as you suggest, thank you very much
 
We have 3 Plesk installs that all have the same issue. All three were updated from Ubuntu 18 to 22.

I've been searching for a solution for about 2 months. This is the first report I've found that someone else is seeing this errror
