How to access server logs

The server logs a lot of information about what people  type in chat, and commands they type. It also logs information such as anti cheat detection's  and kills.

First you need to go to https://mikescnr.com/logs

You will be asked to enter a username and password. The username is admins and the password is whatever the current admin login password is (see here: http://mikescnr.com/forum/index.php/topic,2516.msg9821.html#msg9821).

Once inside you will be greeted with a series of folders.



There are different logs for different things, but I personally only really use FullServerLog as it contains all the AC messages, death messages, commands, and chat. The other ones only contain certain types of messages or errors.

Clicking on the FullServerLogs folder reveals a crapload of text files, one dated for every day since the server started running.

Opening one of these reveals a lot of useful information, you want to look for the ones at the bottom generally as they are the newest logs.

A few examples of what some of the common messages look like

death message
[0:07:05] Player NIGHTBIRD died.  Killer: Stalenin  Reason: 28 (Micro Uzi (Mac 10))


command
[0:06:16] Player Samone_dastroXD entered command: '/beta are u an old player?'.


chat message
[0:05:38] Samone_dastroXD: till i find crims


You can use the search feature of your web browser to find information you are looking for. Searching parts of the common message strings such as "Killer" are a good way to catch these messages only.



Some other useful things you can search are:

  1. Cop information, specifically attacking or killing unarmed suspects. It shows the suspect wanted level as well.
    [0:02:09] [COP LOG] root42O (0) shot SipztA (31) while they were ticketable.

  2. Chat information (It may be a good idea to search for a particular thing that was said)
    [0:01:31] ghader: ill show u

  3. Commands entered
    [0:02:12] Player Vippy entered command: '/w kaafi kam hai sawns dmg'.

  4. Deaths and spawns
    [0:01:39] Player [36]Thegoodfather died.  Killer: Ma_ro  Reason: 32 (Tec9)
    [0:01:41] Player root42O spawned.

Thank you Mike !
This is really helpful !
Can you somehow add time on every line ? 🙂
