Discord: Log Literally Everything

Looking for a way to log everything that happens in your Discord server? Well, you've come to the right place! This bot will log absolutely everything, from messages to attachments, in both servers and DMs. Whatever happens around will be logged and saved to a directory of your choice.

Installation 💾

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/LyubomirT/discord-lle.git

2. Switch to the directory:

cd discord-lle

3. Install the requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run cfg_gen.py to generate the configuration files:

python cfg_gen.py

5. Create an .env file and add the following line:

BOT_TOKEN = TOKENFROMDISCORD

6. Run the bot:

python main.py

NOTE ⚠

This bot requires Privileged Gateway Intents to be enabled. You can enable them in the Discord Developer Portal under the "Bot" tab. These are required for the bot to be able to log messages from servers and send messages to DMs.

Usage 📦

The bot will automatically log messages (or message attachments) to the specified directory. The directory, however, must follow a specific format:

DMs
    - <username>
        - <timestamp>_<message_id>.txt
Servers
    - <server_name>
        - <channel_name>
            - <timestamp>_<message_id>.txt

The bot will automatically create the directories if they don't exist.

Configuration ⚙

The bot can be configured by editing the files in the _config_ folder. The configuration files are as follows:

_config_/directories.cfg

This file contains the directory that the bot will log to. By default, it is set to logs. You can change this to whatever you want.

Example:

[directories]
log_dir=F:\VSCODE-PROJECTS\discord-lle\logs

_config_/types.cfg

In this file, you can configure what kind of messages the bot will log. By default, the bot will log everything from both DMs and servers. The bot also will by default download images, videos, and audio files.

Example:

[direct_messages]
enabled = true
download_images = true
download_videos = true
download_audio = true

[servers]
enabled = true
download_images = true
download_videos = true
download_audio = true

enabled determines whether or not the bot will log messages from that source. download_images, download_videos, and download_audio determine whether or not the bot will download those types of attachments.

_config_/misc.cfg

This file contains miscellaneous configuration options. For example, you can enable or disable printing the contents of the log files to the console, or you can enable or disable logging to DMs. You can also change the owner ID, which is the ID of the user that will receive the log files if logging to DMs is enabled.

Example:

[Console]
printContents = true

[DiscordLog]
enabled = true
ownerid = 861620168370683924

Log File Format 📝

Each log file will consist of the following information below "keys" that are enclosed in square brackets. The keys are as follows:

• [Message] - The message content
• [Image Attachment] - The path to the image attachment
• [Video Attachment] - The path to the video attachment
• [Audio Attachment] - The path to the audio attachment

Example:

[Message]
Hello, world!

[Image Attachment]
F:\VSCODE-PROJECTS\discord-lle\logs\DMs\fdhfdhfdh_ididididid\timetimetime_messageidmessageid_image_image.png

If there is a media attachment, it will also be saved to the directory. The file will be the same MIME type / file extension as the original file. For example, if the attachment is a PNG image, the file will be saved as a PNG image as well. The file name will be in the following format:

<timestamp>_<message_id>_<type>_<filename>

Logs in DMs 📬

The bot can also send the log files to the owner of the bot. This can be useful if you want to keep track of what the bot is logging. To enable this, set enabled to true in _config_/misc.cfg. You can also change the owner ID in the same file.

The bot will send two messages to the owner when a message is logged. The first one will be the log file itself, and the second one will be a summary of the message. The summary will contain the following information:

• The name and ID of the user that sent the message
• The name and ID of the server that the message was sent in
• The name and ID of the channel that the message was sent in
• The timestamp of the message

Also note that this data may differ between DMs and servers. For example, the server name and ID will not be included in the summary if the message was sent in a DM. (DMs don't have server information after all :P)

Configuration Generator 🛠

The project comes with an interactive configuration generator that simplifies the process of configuring the bot. To run it, simply run cfg_gen.py:

python cfg_gen.py

The configuration generator will ask you a series of questions, basically gathering the same info it would use if you were to configure the bot manually. Once you're done, it will generate the configuration files for you in the _config_ folder.

Note that the configuration generator will overwrite any existing configuration files if _config_ already exists. This is to prevent any issues with the configuration files and to avoid making a mess.
