View the logs

Overview

There are two ways to read the logs of the bots:

• by reading the forwarded messages in Discord
• by manually logging in to the VPS and looking up the log files

The log level can be changed temporarily using the command /set-log-level.

Discord

All log messages, with a few sensitive exceptions, are forwarded to Discord via webhooks. You can read them in the two channels:

• tjbot_log_info - contains all INFO, DEBUG, TRACE messages
• tjbot_log_error - contains all WARN, ERROR, FATAL messages

Manually viewing the files

In order to read the log files of the bots directly, one has to login to the VPS and command Docker to execute the corresponding task. Only members of the Moderator-Team can do the following steps.

See Access the VPS for details of the login process.
