Logging

flanker’s logging mirrors server events into channels you choose, grouped by event type so you can route each kind where it belongs.

Event groups

Logging covers these groups, each routable to its own channel:

• messages (deletes, edits, bulk purges)
• members (joins, leaves, nickname and role changes)
• roles, channels, invites, emojis
• voice (joins, moves, leaves)
• moderation (actions taken through flanker)

Setup

Configure logging with /help module logging, or visually on the dashboard. You pick a channel per event group, and you can set a colour per channel and ignore specific users or channels.

Bulk deletes

When more than five messages are purged at once, flanker attaches a full purged-messages.txt transcript to the log, with each message’s author (display name and username), a timestamp and the content, so nothing is lost to a short preview.

Note

Only cached messages have their content; the count in the log is Discord’s reported total, which can be higher than the lines written.
