Read and share logs
The Logs tab gathers your server's log files, newest first, with a viewer that is handier than the file manager: search, level filter and share link.
Open a log
- Log in to the YorkHost Panel:
- Select your server
- Go to Tools → Logs
- Pick a log from the list. Compressed archives (
.gz) open directly
If no log shows up, start the server at least once. For a large file, only the end is shown: Load more goes further back in the file.
Search and filter
- Search the log: with Match case and Regular expression as options. Enter and Shift+Enter move from one match to the next
- Filter by level: Errors, Warnings, Info, Debug
- Go to end, Reload to read the file again, Download to save it to your PC
Share a log
To ask for help (support, a forum, a plugin developer), share a link rather than a screenshot:
- Open the log, then click Share
- Choose the Link duration: 1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days
- Leave Mask IP addresses and secrets ticked
- Click Create link, then copy it
The link is public and read-only: it points to a frozen copy of the log (at most the end of the file), which no longer changes. With masking on, IP addresses, e-mails, player identifiers, licence keys, passwords (RCON, databases), tokens and the values of the server's secret variables are replaced before the copy is saved.
Current links are listed under Active share links: Revoke cuts access before the link expires.
Without masking, anyone with the link sees the IP addresses and any passwords or keys in the log. Even with masking on, read the copy before sharing the link.
