  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Issue ModSecurity for Plesk 12.5.30

New Pleskian
I installed ModSecurity through the add components section in plesk. I've it configured to be only in detection mode (for now while I test). I'm using the Atomic Basic ModSecurity rule set. It seems to be working fine. I see stuff getting written to the logs. The issue I'm having is that I can't view the logs from within plesk itself.
Like when you go to a domain -> Web Application Firewall then click on the ModSecurity Log File link. It's always blank. I can only view the logs from being on the server and opening the text file. Which is fine but...

That brings me to my next problem. The logs are located (plesk root dir)/parallels/plesk/modsecurity/vhosts The problem here is that the folders for each domain aren't named after the domain. They're named in a long string of numbers and letters. I'm guessing that corresponds to a domain ID somewhere inside of plesk or in IIS? Is there somewhere that I can find which string belongs to which domain? I'm ok with not being able to view the logs from the plesk interface, but I'd like to at least easily be able to view them when I'm on the server.

Has anyone run into this issue?
 
Still having the same issue with the logs. Should I try turning ModSecurity from Detection mode to "On"? Anyone else out there have ModSecurity running with Plesk and IIS?
