Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions server admins ask most.
Can my moderators see the log channels?
Channels made by /setup are visible to roles with Administrator only. To let moderators in, allow their role to View Channel on the log category. If you use your own channels with /set-logs, they keep whatever permissions you gave them.
Can moderators use the dashboard?
Anyone with Manage Server on your server can log in and manage it, and their changes show in the Audit log. Members without that permission can’t open it.
Can I put all logs in one channel?
Yes. Run /set-logs <category> log:All with the same channel for every category, or choose the same channel for each event in the dashboard.
Why does a log arrive a few seconds late?
Logs Bot collects entries for the same channel and posts them together every few seconds, up to 10 per message. This keeps Discord from rate-limiting the bot on busy servers.
Will it log things that happened before I added it?
No. Logs Bot records events from the moment a log is turned on.
How do I start over?
Run /reset-settings to turn off every log, then set up again. Your existing channels and past logs aren’t deleted.
What data does Logs Bot keep?
The configuration you set, and the server activity needed for the logs you turn on. Depending on those logs, that can include message content, usernames, user IDs and timestamps. It is never sold. Read the full Privacy Policy or write to privacy@logsbot.com.
Where do I get help?
Join the support server, or run /support in Discord.
