Audit log

The dashboard's read-only view of your server's Discord audit log, what it shows, and how it differs from Cloudy's own mod logs.

The Audit Log page shows the most recent entries from your server's Discord audit log, in chronological order, with the actor, the action and the target resolved to readable names.

What it needs

Cloudy must have the View Audit Log permission. Without it the page shows an explicit notice rather than an empty list — grant the permission in Discord and reload.

The page is read-only. Nothing here can be edited or deleted; Discord owns the data and expires it on its own schedule (roughly 45 days).

What it shows

Every audit-log action type Discord exposes, grouped roughly as:

GroupExamples
ServerServer settings updated, integrations added or removed
ChannelsCreated, edited, deleted, permission overwrites changed
MembersKicked, banned, unbanned, roles changed, moved or disconnected from voice, pruned
RolesCreated, edited, deleted
InvitesCreated, edited, deleted
WebhooksCreated, edited, deleted
Emojis & stickersAdded, edited, removed
MessagesDeleted, bulk-deleted, pinned, unpinned
ThreadsCreated, edited, deleted
Discord AutoModRules created, edited, deleted; messages blocked

Actions Discord adds after this list was written render as a generic "performed an action" entry rather than being dropped.

Audit log vs. mod logs

They answer different questions and you usually want both.

If a member was banned and you want to know why, the mod log has the reason. If you want to know whether an admin changed a channel permission last night, the audit log has it.

Reading an entry

Each row is one action: who did it, what they did, and when. Members who have left the server show as their stored name where Discord still provides it, otherwise as "Unknown" — Discord does not retain full profiles for deleted accounts.

Bots appear as actors like anyone else. An entry attributed to Cloudy is an action Cloudy performed, usually on behalf of a configuration you saved — an AutoMod deletion, a role grant from a reaction role panel, a ticket channel being created.
