Logging Setup

ArkenBot's logging system records guild events to dedicated channels so you always have a complete audit trail.

Logging Setup in the ArkenBot dashboard

Setup​

  1. Go to Settings and enable Logging
  2. Go to Logs in the sidebar
  3. Set your log channels

Log Channels​

ChannelWhat it Logs
Log ChannelMember joins/leaves, message edits, message deletes
Mod Log ChannelBans, kicks, mutes, warns, unbans, case updates

You can use the same channel for both, or separate them for cleaner organization.

What Gets Logged​

Member Events​

  • Member joined the server
  • Member left the server (includes how long they were a member)

Message Events​

  • Message edited (shows before and after content)
  • Message deleted (shows original content and author)

Moderation Events​

  • Ban (manual and temp-ban)
  • Kick
  • Mute / Timeout
  • Warn
  • Unban
  • Clear warnings

Each log entry includes the responsible moderator, the target user, the reason (if provided), and a timestamp.

Embed Colors​

Log embeds use semantic colors by default:

  • 🔴 Red — Bans, kicks
  • 🟡 Yellow — Warns, mutes
  • 🟢 Green — Unbans
  • 🔵 Blue — General events

You can override this with a fixed color in Settings → Embed Accent Colors → Logs. Use the Reset button to restore semantic colors.

Dashboard Log Viewer​

The Logs page in the dashboard provides a searchable, filterable view of all recorded log events. You can filter by event type, date range, and user.
