Discord logs & activity
The Discord logs page records what happens on your server: deleted messages, joins, sanctions, voice moves, channel and role changes. It is both the history you consult and the place where you decide where each event is published.
Journal tab
Section titled “Journal tab”Four counters summarise the period: Total, Users, Unique and Sources.
The Discord events table shows the Time, Actor, Action, Channel, Category, Details Description and Type columns.
- The Quick search field accepts an action, details, a module or a user.
- A counter shows how many events are displayed out of the total.
- The Open case file button goes straight to the moderation file of the member concerned.
If nothing shows up, Kotbo suggests changing your search filters.
Audit & diff tab
Section titled “Audit & diff tab”This tab keeps every message, member, role or channel change with its before and after state.
- Filter by type (Message edited, Member updated, Role updated, Channel updated, Channel permissions), by author or by date range.
- The View changes button shows the before/after comparison, with the number of additions and removals. For permissions, Kotbo distinguishes Allowed, Denied and Back to inherited.
Under Audit configuration, you can enable before/after state capture, choose what is captured (messages, members, roles, channels), exclude channels, and set a Retention (days) value (0 keeps events indefinitely).
Configuration tab
Section titled “Configuration tab”Logging
Section titled “Logging”- Enable global audit: the main logging switch.
- Activity tracking: records the actions performed.
- Channel notifs: publishes alerts in the log channel.
- DM notifications: sends alerts to staff by direct message.
Default channel
Section titled “Default channel”Set the general log channel, used for every event that has no specific channel of its own.
Per-event configuration
Section titled “Per-event configuration”You can enable each event separately and give it its own Destination channel. Events are grouped by category:
| Category | Events |

| Messages | Message deleted, Message edited, Bulk deletion |
| Members | Member joined, Member left, Roles updated, Member timeout |
| Moderation | Kick, Ban, Unban, Timeout (Audit) |

Each category has a Manage this category’s alerts shortcut to turn the whole group on or off at once.
