How to set up logging on your Discord server

Discord's audit log does not show deleted message content and only keeps entries for a limited time. A log bot keeps a record in channels you control.

Short answer

Create staff-only log channels, then in BluFox open Logs, add each channel and tick the events it should get (messages, members, moderation, server, voice). BluFox posts every event there, and re-posts the images and files of deleted messages so they are not lost.

Setup

Step by step

  1. 01

    Add BluFox to your server

    Open the invite link on blufox-studio.com and pick your server. BluFox asks only for the permissions its modules use, never Administrator.

  2. 02

    Create log channels

    For example #mod-log, #message-log and #join-log, visible only to staff.

  3. 03

    Open Logs

    On the dashboard, use the quick setup to assign channels by category in one click, or add channels one by one.

  4. 04

    Pick events per channel

    Message deletes and edits, joins and leaves, bans and timeouts, role and channel changes, voice, automod and moderation cases.

  5. 05

    Check it works

    Delete a test message with an image: it appears in #message-log with the image re-posted.
