Each FiveDash log is a drawer in the city’s archive: Deaths and combat, Inventory and chests, Store robbery. Each one has a name, an icon, a key for the export and its own link to use in place of the Discord webhook. This page shows how to run the initial setup, create logs later, get the link, and edit or delete a log.
| What to do | Level needed |
|---|---|
| Initial setup (the three steps) | All logs at Configure |
| Create a new log (New log) | All logs at Configure, or Create logs at Manage |
| See the link, edit, generate a new link, send a test and delete a log | Configure on that log (or All logs at Configure) |
The first time someone opens Logs, Bring your logs to FiveDash shows up, with three steps.
In Which logs do your scripts send?, tick the kinds the city uses (the list is in the table below). In Other logs, type a custom log’s name in Log name, like “Store robbery”, and click Add. Click Create the link (with more than one log, the button shows the number, like Create 4 links).
Pick the Discord webhook or FiveDash export tab. For the webhook, copy each log’s link and paste it into the script’s config in place of the discord.com/api/webhooks link. For the export, copy each log’s call. Click I’ve swapped them (webhook) or Done (export).
Join the city and do something a script records, or click Send a test log. When the log arrives, it shows as the script sent it and what FiveDash read from it.
Click Turn on logs. The button only unlocks after the first log has arrived. At the end, click Go to the logs.
| Log | Key | What it’s for |
|---|---|---|
| Joins and leaves | conexoes | Who connected, disconnected or dropped. |
| Chat and commands | chat | Messages, /me and typed commands. |
| Deaths and combat | mortes | Who killed whom, with what weapon and where. |
| Inventory and chests | inventario | Items taken, stored, dropped and sent. |
| Money and bank | dinheiro | Transfers, withdrawals, deposits and fines. |
| Vehicles and garage | veiculos | Spawns, purchases, sales and garages. |
| Police and prison | policia | Arrests, searches, seizures and fines. |
| Staff actions | staff | Admin commands: god, noclip, tp, item. |
| Factions and companies | organizacoes | Chests, safes, hires and firings. |
| Anticheat | anticheat | Automatic warnings and bans. |
A log from Other logs gets a key made from its name: “Store robbery” becomes store-robbery. If the key is taken, FiveDash adds -2, -3 at the end.
In the sidebar, under Logs, click New log.
In Icon and name, pick the icon (you can search by name in Search icons) and type the name, like “Store robbery”.
In How the script sends, pick FiveDash export (recommended) or Discord webhook. For the export, check the Key: it’s filled in from the name and FiveDash tells you whether it’s free.
Click Create log. The dialog shows Log created. Now just paste the link in the script. (webhook) or Log created. Now just call the export in the script. (export), with the link or the code to copy. Click Open log to go to its page.
| Field | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Icon | The log’s icon in the sidebar and in the logs. Only changes on FiveDash. | Record (new log) or the kind’s icon |
| Name | How the log shows in the panel. 2 to 40 characters, not repeating another log’s name (case and accents don’t count). | — |
| How the script sends | FiveDash export or Discord webhook. Both ways keep working: this only changes the instructions FiveDash shows. | FiveDash export for New log; Discord webhook for logs from the initial setup |
| Key | The name scripts use in the export: exports.fivedash:log("key", …). 2 to 32 characters, only lowercase letters, numbers, - and _, starting with a letter or number. Unique on the server. | Made from the name |
| Link | The address that goes in place of the Discord webhook. Unique per log. | Generated on creation |
Each log’s link has this format:
https://logs.fivex.sh/api/logs/<log-id>/<token>
<log-id> is the log’s identifier (a UUID).<token> is a 43-character secret. Anyone with the link can send logs to the server.To copy the link: open the log in the sidebar, click How to send at the top and use the copy button. If the log is on the export, first click Use webhook (under “Does the script already send to a Discord webhook?”). The link also shows in Edit log, in the How to send section. During the initial setup, the links are in the Connect the scripts step (See links button).
In the sidebar, under Logs, click the log.
At the top, click the pencil (Edit log).
Change the icon, the name, How the script sends or the Key and click Save.
Use it when the link leaked or when you want to cut off an old script.
Open the log and click Edit log. The option shows when Discord webhook is selected.
In How to send, click Generate new link and confirm with Generate new link.
Copy the new link and paste it into the scripts. The old one stopped working right away.
Open the log, click Edit log, then Delete log, and confirm with Delete for good.
| Plan | Logs kept for | Logs received per month | Logs per server |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plus | 7 days | 1 million | 15 |
| Pro | 30 days | 10 million | 30 |
| Ultra | 90 days | 50 million | 60 |
The monthly logs limit covers the whole organization. The logs per server limit applies to each server.
I got “Up to 15 logs per server on your plan.” What do I do? The server reached the plan’s log limit. Delete a log you no longer use, or change plans in Settings → Plan.
I renamed the log. Do I need to change anything in the scripts? No. Name and icon are panel-only. Only the key (export) and the link (webhook) matter to scripts.
The key says “Already used by the log …”. Now what? Another log on the server already uses that key. Click the suggestion shown next to it or type another one.
