Six steps. Most take seconds.
You need the Manage Server permission in the server you are setting up. Everything else is below.
- 1
Create a private log channel
In Discord, create a text channel and call it something like #logs. Turn on Private Channel and add only your staff roles, so members can't read it.
# logsPrivate Channel onStaff roles only - 2
Invite Quark
Open quark.bot/invite, pick your server and click Authorize. You can untick Administrator on the permissions screen. Quark works without it.
- 3
Run /logging
Type
/loggingin any channel and choose your new log channel from Quark's reply. Logging starts straight away. - 4
Choose what gets logged
Open the dashboard, or type
/dashboardfor a direct link. Turn whole categories of events on or off, and send each kind of log to its own channel if you want them apart. - 5
Set your ignore rules
In the dashboard's Ignore tab, add the channels and members you don't want logged, like a bot-commands channel. You can ignore someone as the target of an event, or as the one who carried it out.
- 6
Test it
Delete a message, then edit another. Both should show up in your log channel. If something is missing, run
/troubleshootand Quark will tell you why.Message DeletedMessage Edited

“The reason we choose Quark was because of its logging, can directly see images that get deleted, and the logging is really fast. You can simply type one command and have everything set up.”
