How to Enable Server Action Logging on Your OpenRCT2 Server<\/h2>\n

Keeping track of what happens in your park is essential for security and troubleshooting. By enabling the Log Server Actions<\/strong> setting, your OpenRCT2 server will record technical events and administrative actions to a dedicated log file. This is perfect for identifying who performed specific commands or tracking down the cause of a server issue. In this guide, we will show you how to activate this feature on the GGServers panel.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Access the Panel<\/h3>\n

Log in to your GGServers Control Panel<\/a> and select your OpenRCT2 server. This dashboard allows you to manage your server’s technical data and logging preferences.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Stop Your Server<\/h3>\n

To ensure that the logging system is correctly initialized in the server’s configuration, you must first stop the server. Click the red Stop<\/strong> button on the main console. Wait for the status indicator to confirm the server is “Offline” before proceeding.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Navigate to Server Settings<\/h3>\n

On the left-hand navigation sidebar, click on the Server Settings<\/strong> button. This menu provides access to the primary configuration categories for your OpenRCT2 instance.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Open General Settings<\/h3>\n

In the Server Settings area, select the General Settings<\/strong> tab. This section handles core automation and data management rules for your theme park server.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Change the Setting That Will Auto Save<\/h3>\n

Locate the box labeled Log Server Actions<\/strong>. Toggle this to “true” if you would like in-game actions logged to a file located in your ~\/ServerData\/serverlogs<\/code> directory. The GGServers panel features an automatic save<\/strong> function, so your logging preference will be applied the moment you flip the switch.<\/p>\n

\"Log
Toggle this switch to ‘true’ to start recording technical server events.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Step 6: That is it!<\/h3>\n

You have enabled server activity logging! Return to the main dashboard and click Start<\/strong>. Your OpenRCT2 server will now begin saving all technical actions to your file manager for future review.<\/p>\n
