Run /setup

/setup is an admin-only command that walks you through connecting your VRChat group and choosing where logs go. Run it in any channel — the whole flow happens in private (only you see it) until your log channels start receiving events.

You'll need

  • The Manage Server permission in Discord.
  • Your VRChat group ID or URL (e.g. grp_xxxxxxxx-... or https://vrchat.com/home/group/grp_...).
  • The ability to manage roles in that VRChat group (to grant audit-log access later).

Step 1 — Choose a channel layout

LogDog offers three ways to set up where logs land:

Creates a LogDog category with three channels and routes everything into them:

  • #vrc-requests — join requests
  • #vrc-instance — instance activity
  • #vrc-group — everything else

One click and you're done with channel setup. Best for most groups.

Creates the LogDog category with one channel per category (Member, Role, Instance, Post, …). Deselect any category you don't care about to skip its channel.

Use your own existing channels — assign a channel to each category, skip the ones you don't want, and optionally do a per-event override pass for fine-grained routing.

Categories LogDog creates are private by default (hidden from @everyone, visible to admins) since audit logs are staff-only. If you choose an existing category, LogDog keeps your current permissions.

Step 2 — Permission check

LogDog verifies it can post in the chosen channels (View / Send / Embed). If anything's missing it tells you exactly what to fix; click Re-check once you've fixed it. There's also a Restart setup button here if you want to change the layout — nothing is locked in yet.

Step 3 — Connect your VRChat group

Paste your group ID or URL. LogDog enforces one group per server (and one server per group), so if the group is already monitored elsewhere it'll tell you.

Steps 4–5 — The account joins your group

LogDog assigns one of its VRChat accounts and sends it a join request for your group. You'll see progress posted automatically as each step clears.

If join requests are closed

If your group blocks join requests, LogDog shows you the account's profile link so you can invite or allow it manually. It detects the join automatically once it's in.

Steps 6–7 — Grant audit-log access

Once the account is in your group, you grant it permission to read the audit log. This is the one step that happens on the VRChat side — it has its own page:

→ Grant audit-log access

LogDog verifies access automatically and posts 🎉 Setup complete! when it's done. Events start flowing into your channels right away.
