May be you updated AWStats without updating browsers.pm file or you made changed into browsers.pm not correctly. Check your file /usr/share/awstats/lib/browsers.pm is up to date.
Setup ('/usr/local/psa/etc/awstats/awstats.example.com-http.conf' file, web server or permissions) may be wrong.
Check config file, permissions and AWStats documentation (in 'docs' directory). -

Cause
Product issue:
-
#PPPM-13617 "On Plesk servers running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and its derivatives with the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository configured, installing AWStats packages from the EPEL repository no longer results in AWStats being non-functional. Note: If you have disabled the installation of AWStats packages from the EPEL repository, you need to undo the changes, or else future Plesk updates will fail."
Fixed in:- Plesk Obsidian 16 August 2022 (Linux)
Resolution
Warning: Verify that AWStats packages are not excluded from the EPEL repository:
- Connect to the server via SSH
- Check if the AWStats package is excluded:
# grep -r exclude /etc/yum.repos.d | grep awstats
/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo:exclude=awstats* - Open
/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repoin any text editor and comment or delete the line:#exclude=awstats*
