Frequently asked questions
The short version of everything people ask before adding LogDog. For feature guides and troubleshooting, the docs FAQ goes deeper.
What does LogDog do?
LogDog watches your VRChat group's audit log and delivers every event to Discord as clean, color-coded embeds: joins, leaves, join requests, bans, kicks, warns, role changes, instances, posts, and more. Your staff can act on events with buttons right in the log channel, and the web dashboard adds search, analytics, and role sync management on top.
Does VRChat really delete group audit logs?
Yes. VRChat only keeps group audit logs for about 30 days, then they are gone. LogDog keeps every event it has ever captured for your group permanently, so questions like “what happened with this member last year” still have answers.
Is LogDog free?
Yes. LogDog's core features are free for every group: the full event feed, moderation buttons, history commands, and the dashboard.
What do I need to set it up?
A Discord server where you can add bots, and a VRChat group where you can grant audit log access. Run /setup after inviting the bot, and the wizard walks you through the rest. Express mode builds the channels for you, and most groups see their first logs in under five minutes.
Does LogDog need my VRChat password?
No. You never share your credentials. You grant a LogDog service account permission to view your group's audit log, the same way you would give a role to any group member, and you can revoke that access at any time.
How quickly do new events show up in Discord?
LogDog checks your group on a regular pull cycle, so new events usually arrive within a few minutes rather than instantly. If VRChat has an outage, LogDog picks up where it left off and backfills anything it missed once the API recovers.
What is role sync?
Role sync maps Discord roles to VRChat group roles, in one direction: Discord to VRChat. When members link their accounts, giving someone a mapped Discord role assigns the matching VRChat group role automatically, and removing it takes the group role away. Members who leave or unlink lose the roles LogDog granted, while roles they earned on their own are never touched.
Which events does LogDog cover?
All 40 VRChat group audit event types, from member joins and requests to bans, role changes, instance activity, and posts. Each one can be routed to whichever Discord channel you want, or turned off entirely.
