LogKeeper
LogKeeper is a utility mod for BepInEx that enhances game logging capabilities. It automatically backs up log files,
appending a timestamp to each, and maintains a clean log history by keeping only a specified number of recent logs (
Default 5). This
mod is essential for developers and users who need to debug issues, or keep a historical
record of game logs. We all know that one person who boots their game after reporting a bug, and then the logs are gone
from when the bug occurred. This mod is for them.
This mod can be independently installed on either the client or the server, based on your log management needs. Please note, installing it on the server will only manage server logs, and similarly, installing it on the client will only manage client logs. It does not synchronize or manage logs across both; installation must be on the specific side where log backups are desired.
This mod uses a file watcher. If the configuration file is not changed with BepInEx Configuration Manager but changed in the file, upon file save, it will update your setting internally.
Log File Location
After installation, LogKeeper will automatically manage log files located in the LogKeeperLogs directory within the
BepInEx folder. Here's how to locate this directory:
- On the Client:
BepInEx/LogKeeperLogs
- For manual installations: Directly drag and drop the log file into Discord. Access your BepInEx folder by
going to Steam, right-clicking on Valheim, selecting
Manage > Browse local files, and navigating to
the BepInEx folder.
- Using r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager? Access your logs by navigating
through
Settings > Browse profile folder, then proceed to the BepInEx folder.
- On the Server:
BepInEx/LogKeeperLogs in the server's installation directory.
This directory will contain backups of your log files, with each backup timestamped for easy identification and
management. (e.g., LogOutput_2024-02-14_05-48-08.log) which is in the format LogOutput_yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss.log.
