YAGPDB alternative for logging YAGPDB isn't a logging bot. Quark is only that.

YAGPDB's documentation says so itself. Its message logs are web pages made on request or by a moderation action. Quark posts every event to a channel in your server as it happens, and runs next to YAGPDB.

The short answer

What is a good YAGPDB alternative for logging?

Quark is a Discord bot built only for logging, and it runs alongside YAGPDB. YAGPDB's documentation says it is not a logging bot: its message logs are web pages created with /logs or by a moderation action, and cannot be sent to a channel. Quark posts every deleted message, edit, voice event and moderation action to a log channel as it happens.

Key facts

  • YAGPDB's documentation states that it is not a logging bot.
  • Its message logs are web pages made by /logs or a moderation action. They cannot be sent to a channel.

They do different jobs

YAGPDB's message logs are a snapshot for a moderator to read after a report or a ban. Quark is a running record of everything, in your own channels. Nothing overlaps, so there is nothing to turn off.

When YAGPDB is all you need

If you only want the last few messages attached to a moderation action, YAGPDB already does that. Add Quark when you want to see deletes, edits, voice and member changes as they happen.

Coverage

If it happens in your server, Quark logs it.

Quark has 102 log types, and every one of them is on the free plan.

Asked before adding Quark

YAGPDB alternative FAQ

Yes. Quark only handles logging, so it does not clash with YAGPDB's custom commands, automoderator, feeds or role menus. The two do different jobs, so there is nothing to switch off.

Its moderation actions can be posted to a mod log channel. Its message logs cannot: YAGPDB's documentation says they are only accessible online. Quark posts every log, including deleted and edited messages, to channels in your server.

YAGPDB's documentation says it records the last hour of deleted messages, or the last 12 hours with premium, and that a message log is deleted 30 days after it is made. Quark keeps message content for 12 hours on the free plan and 4 weeks on Quark Pro, and a log posted to your channel stays for as long as the channel does.

No. Quark does not do custom commands, feeds, role menus or tickets. It has /ban, /kick, /mute and /purge, tags, and rules that act on your logs. Keep YAGPDB for the rest.

Yes. The free plan includes every log type, a channel for each category of log, ignore rules and the live web viewer, and it keeps the content of deleted messages that are up to 12 hours old. Quark Pro extends that to 4 weeks and adds 30 days of searchable log history on the web, CSV export, and the moderator behind server mutes and deafens.
