Audit Log
The Audit Log records what people do inside the YAWBDB panel — who enabled a feature, changed a setting, added a team member, or what a platform admin did in the backoffice. It is your trail of accountability for everything that happens in the dashboard.
Not the same as Server Logs. Server Logs records Discord events (joins, message deletes, voice activity…). The Audit Log records panel actions (configuration changes, team management, moderation). They answer different questions: "what happened on my Discord server?" vs "who changed what in my dashboard?".
🔭 Three views, one trail
The Audit Log is the same trail viewed at three scopes. An action automatically appears in every view it's relevant to — you never have to look in more than one place.
| View | Where | Shows |
|---|---|---|
| Server activity | A server → Audit Log | Everything done to that server's configuration |
| Team activity | Team settings → Activity Log | All governance of the team and everything done on every server the team owns |
| Backoffice (admins) | Admin → Audit Log | Every action across the whole platform, all teams and servers |
Because the views are interconnected, a single action shows up wherever it matters at once. Enabling a feature on a server appears in that server's log, in its team's log, and in the backoffice. When a platform admin acts on one of your servers, you see it in your own team and server logs too — clearly tagged ADMIN — so backoffice intervention is never invisible to you.
👁️ Who can see what
- Server & Team activity — the team owner and members with management rights (Administrator role). Members without management rights can't open it.
- Backoffice — platform administrators only. They see the full, unfiltered trail.
📋 What gets recorded
Server configuration
- Features enabled or disabled
- Feature settings saved (Automod, Join Verification, Starboard, Server Logs, and the rest)
- A server removed from the team
Team governance
- Members invited, added, removed, or leaving
- Team renamed or deleted
Backoffice (admin) actions
- A user banned, unbanned, or given a new platform role
- Platform SEO settings and integration credentials updated
Each entry captures who did it (kept even if their account is later deleted), when, and the affected item.
🔍 What exactly changed
Most entries carry a before / after table: not just "Wordle settings saved", but the fields that moved and what they moved from and to.
| Field | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
channel_id |
8412… | 9930… |
cooldown_seconds |
10 | 30 |
Open Details on any entry to see it. A few things are worth knowing about how it's built:
- Only what actually moved is listed. Saving a form without touching anything records nothing, and a field that came back from the form in a different shape —
"1"instead of1— isn't reported as a change. - Lists are compared whole. Adding one channel to an allow-list reads as one change to that list, not as every entry shifting position.
- Nested settings read as a path, so
categories.voice.enabledtells you which category you turned off. - Credentials are never written down. If a token or a secret is changed, the entry records that it was rotated — both sides show
••••••••. This applies everywhere, including admin integration credentials.
🎚️ Finding an entry
The same filters are available in all three views:
- Search — actor, action, description or the affected item
- Category — feature, server, team, member, subscription, billing, admin, auth
- Action — the exact action, picked from what actually exists in your log
- Actor — one person
- Date range — from / to
- Server (team and backoffice views) and Source: admin or user (backoffice only)
Active filters appear as chips above the table — click one to remove it. Counters above the filters show the total, the last 24 hours, how many backoffice actions there were, and how many different people acted.
⏳ Retention
Entries are kept for a rolling window (180 days by default) and older ones are pruned automatically. The trail is append-only — entries are never edited after the fact.
