# Server logs

> Post message, member, moderation, and ticket events to staff channels. Thea does not store message bodies from these logs.

Server logs post Discord events to staff channels you choose. They are a live feed for moderators, not a second copy of your data in Thea.

Configure them in **Settings → Server logs**, or with `/config logging` in Discord.

## Destinations

Each destination is **Off** or a staff channel:

| Destination        | Typical use                                    |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Message log**    | Deletes, edits, and bulk deletes               |
| **Member log**     | Joins, leaves, bans, unbans                    |
| **Moderation log** | Manual and AutoMod actions you want in Discord |
| **Ticket log**     | Ticket lifecycle events                        |

Use private staff channels. Message logs can include content you would not want in a public channel.

## Events you can turn on

### Messages

* Message deleted
* Message edited
* Bulk delete (purge)

### Members

* Member joined
* Member left
* Member banned
* Member unbanned

### Tickets

* Ticket opened
* Ticket claimed
* Ticket assigned
* Ticket released
* Ticket escalated
* Staff note added
* Ticket closed
* Ticket survey answered (rating and comment)
* Ticket reopened
* Ticket deleted

The ticket log is lifecycle only. It does **not** include ticket message bodies, form answers, or staff note text — except the CSAT rating and comment when that event is on.

## What Thea stores

Message content in these logs is posted **to Discord only**. Thea does not keep a copy of deleted or edited message bodies for this feature.

Deleted content appears only if the bot still had that message cached. If Thea never saw the original message, the log says so instead of inventing the text.

For a durable, searchable record of configuration changes, use the [Audit log](/dashboard/audit). For AutoMod evidence, use the AutoMod log channel under [Settings → AutoMod](/moderation/automod).

## Discord commands

```
/config logging show
/config logging channel
/config logging event
```

`show` prints the current destinations and enabled events. `channel` and `event` change one destination or one event without opening the dashboard.
