Logging
Route any of 16 event types to dedicated log channels with per-channel overrides and customizable embed text.
On this page
Overview
Java Lava can log 16 event types: message edits and deletes, bulk deletes, member joins and leaves, bans and unbans, member/role/channel changes, and voice activity (join/leave/move/mute-deafen). Each can be toggled independently.
Route different event types to different channels (for example, moderation actions to a staff-only channel and message edits to a general audit log), and customize the embed description template per event type using placeholders like {actor}, {channel}, and {details}.
