Bao’s three logs

Do not mix them up: three purposes, three channels.


Bao keeps three separate logs. They are configured in three different places and can point at three different channels. This is the most frequent source of confusion.

LogWhat it recordsWhere to set it
Audit logDiscord server events: joins, leaves, deleted messages, role changes, channels created…Logs → Audit log
Moderation logSanctions: warnings, timeouts, kicks, bansModeration → Log
Delivery logThe result of each scheduled message: sent or failedMessages → Logging

Making them coexist

A well-tuned server often uses:

  • a private #audit channel, very chatty, reserved for the team;
  • a readable #moderation channel, where the team follows sanctions;
  • a discreet #deliveries channel, consulted only when something is off.

Nothing stops you sending everything to the same channel, but the audit log will drown the other two.
