Hello all, Please forgive me if this has been addressed before, but there are 72 pages of forum subjects (mostly ARK related) and no apparent search feature. I looked back 12 pages and saw nothing relevant. Currently I am trying to maintain a (mostly) constant Telnet connection so I can remotely capture some semblance of a log. This often drops and I have to reconnect when I eventually notice the connection has quit on me. A decent way to enable logging and capture those logs in the backups would be great. They are quite useful in monitoring server performance and player behavior.

TIA, -Ed-

There is currently not a server side logging available outside of features that specific games offer, so unless the game files themselves have a logging feature to toggle it's not something available outside of the charts tab in your panel.

If you look in the startserver.sh, you see the following line:

./7DaysToDieServer.x8664 -logfile $SERVERDIR/7DaysToDieServerData/output_log__date +%Y-%m-%d__%H-%M-%S.txt -quit -batchmode -nographics -dedicated $PARAMS

It is clearly attempting to create a logfile on startup, but I do not see one actually being created.

I would recommend emailing support in that case, there possibly is a permissions issue with the executable then.
