SFTP/FTP Logs Panel
ProThe SFTP/FTP Logs Panel is the staff workspace for game-server logs. Configure an SFTP or FTP connection, point at a log file, and start monitoring. Every event is stored on the connection's log page, and Discord channels are optional forwarding. Pro feature. Available in the dashboard and via /sftplogs panel in Discord.
Open SFTP/FTP Logs Panel →
Read game-server logs in the dashboard. Connect over SFTP or FTP, point at the log file, and start monitoring. Events land on each connection's log page, and you can forward event types to Discord channels. Parsed events feed AutoMod, identity verification, and the audit log. Pro feature. Available via /sftplogs panel in Discord.
What is this?
The log-monitor surface. Configure an SFTP or FTP connection to your game-server host, point at the chat / kill / admin log file, and start monitoring. Every event is stored on the connection's log page; Discord channels are optional forwarding for each event class. Parsed lines become structured events the rest of Arkanis can act on (in-game verification, AutoMod triggers, audit-log entries).
Why you might want it
For game servers that don't expose RCON natively or that write important data only to disk, SFTP/FTP log monitoring is the way to get those events into your moderation stack. It also enables in-game identity verification: a member types a one-time code in game chat, the log monitor picks it up, and Arkanis links the Discord and Steam accounts.
How it appears in Discord
Staff with the panel_logs capability run /sftplogs panel in Discord to open the ephemeral staff panel below.
Where it lives in the dashboard
On the dashboard the SFTP/FTP Logs Panel is the last entry in the Infrastructure sidebar section, after Server Control.
Configure SFTP or FTP, start monitoring, and read every event on the log page. Channels are optional.
How to open this panel
Pick your server, then click Infrastructure → SFTP/FTP Logs Panel. The page shows the configured connection (if any), the log file path being watched, monitor status, and a View Logs button that opens each connection's log page.
Staff with panel_logs run /sftplogs panel. Requires Pro and a configured SFTP or FTP connection.
What you can do from here
Protocol, host, port, username, password (or private key). The setup flow tests the connection before saving. See SFTP/FTP Log Monitoring.
Set the path to the unified log file (or files) your game server writes to. The monitor tails by polling; new lines reach the log page shortly after they hit disk.
View Logs opens a connection's stored events with a live stream and filters for type, text, and player ID. Events are stored as soon as monitoring runs.
Optional. Pick which Discord channels each event class is also posted to: chat, kills, admin actions, joins / leaves. Events stay on the log page either way.
When both are configured, RCON actions reference the same player records the SFTP/FTP log feeds. One identity, two surfaces. See RCON Panel.
Each connection starts and stops on its own row, without touching the rest. A stopped connection is started again within a few minutes while it is enabled, so disable it to keep it off. The row says whether it is monitoring and, when it is not, why not. Monitor Status lists every monitor with its channels and the file it is reading. Arkanis runs at most 10 monitors for one server as a safety limit, and your game host may allow fewer simultaneous SFTP/FTP connections.
The same SFTP or FTP credentials power a lightweight file browser for one-off reads and edits. Evrima users get a one-click Open Game.ini shortcut.
FTP Connections
FTP is supported for hosts that offer nothing else, such as GPortal. When you add the connection in the dashboard, choose FTP under Protocol. The Discord setup form creates SFTP connections only, so set up FTP from the dashboard.
Who can use this panel
panel_logs— opens the dashboard panel and the Discord/sftplogs panelcommand, lists connections, and opens each connection's log page. Nothing more is needed to read logs.logs_setup— configure SFTP/FTP connections, set log file paths, and pick forwarding channels.logs_monitor— start and stop monitoring, and view monitor status.logs_files— browse, read, and edit server files.
See Roles & Permissions. Adding or rotating the SFTP/FTP credential opens a re-auth window. It's a high-trust action because the same credential can read and edit server files.
