How It WorksFor Server Staff
Logging
Logging creates an automatic audit trail of server events, giving staff visibility into what's happening across your community. InfiniTea captures configurable event types and posts formatted log entries to designated channels in real time.
What Gets Logged
InfiniTea supports logging for multiple event categories:
- Member events: Joins, leaves, role changes, nickname updates, timeouts.
- Message events: Edits, deletions, bulk deletes, attachment changes.
- Moderation events: Bans, unbans, kicks, warnings issued through InfiniTea.
- Channel events: Creation, deletion, permission changes.
- Voice events: Joins, leaves, moves between voice channels.
- Server events: Settings changes, emoji updates, invite creation/deletion.
Each log entry includes a timestamp, the affected user, the acting moderator (when applicable), and relevant context like before/after values.
Staff Workflow
- Select event groups: Choose which categories of events your server needs to monitor. Start with moderation and member events as a baseline.
- Set destination channel(s): Pick one or more channels where log entries will be posted. Using multiple channels (one per category) keeps things organized.
- Apply ignore lists: Add specific users, roles, or channels to the ignore list to suppress expected noise (bot accounts, automated channels).
- Validate with live events: Trigger a few test events (like editing a message or changing a nickname) to confirm logs appear correctly.
Tuning Guidance
- Keep moderation and member events always-on. These are critical for accountability and rarely produce excessive noise.
- Route high-volume events (message edits/deletes in active channels) to a separate log channel to avoid burying important moderation logs.
- Use the Discord ID ignore list to suppress bot and webhook activity that would otherwise flood logs.
- Review log channel permissions: only staff should be able to read audit logs.
- If your server is large (5000+ members), consider limiting message event logging to specific channels rather than server-wide.
Log Format
Each log entry is posted as an embed with:
- Color-coded severity (green for info, yellow for warnings, red for moderation actions)
- Actor and target identification
- Timestamp in your server's configured timezone
- Before/after values for changes (message edits, nickname changes, etc.)
