Logger practical usage guide#

Logger adds persistent clan activity logging with GUI/query management, storage and placeholders. This guide focuses on the actual administrator and player workflow: what to set up first, how to test it in-game, and what to check before enabling it for everyone.

How the feature works#

In normal use, the feature follows this flow: Enable the logger categories you need. Perform a test clan action and open/query the clan log. Configure retention/limits so the log remains useful without unlimited growth.

Recommended in-game workflow#

1. Enable the logger categories you need.
2. Perform a test clan action and open/query the clan log.
3. Configure retention/limits so the log remains useful without unlimited growth.

Administrator setup checklist#

• Use MySQL when logs need to be shared across multiple servers; keep schema/database settings identical.

Configuration areas#

• Config — date_format_short, timezone, Logger, Icon, Permissions
• Storage — type, mysql, user, pass, databases, datasource

Changing settings safely#

1. Back up the component configuration and persistent data before changing a live server.
2. Change one feature area at a time.
3. Reload only if the component documents reload as safe; otherwise restart the server.
4. Test with a non-OP account that has exactly the intended clan role/permission.
5. Watch the console from the first relevant warning/error, not only the final stack trace.
6. On multiserver networks, repeat the check on every node and confirm shared storage/sync settings match.
