Your server's logs and crash reports live in the Files tab, and the Console gives you quick one-click access to the live log. Knowing where each one is makes troubleshooting much faster.

Where the files are

In the Files tab:

  • logs/latest.log — the current run's console log.
  • logs/ — older logs, stored dated and compressed as .log.gz.
  • crash-reports/ — full crash reports written when the server hard-crashes.

Grabbing the live log

From the Console, the "Copy all console output" and "Share logs via mclo.gs" buttons capture the live log directly — handy when you want to share it without digging through Files.

Tip: For an ongoing issue, logs/latest.log is your go-to. For a hard crash that took the server down, check crash-reports/ for the detailed report.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between latest.log and a crash report? latest.log is the running console output. A crash report (in crash-reports/) is a detailed dump written specifically when the server hard-crashes.

Where are older logs? In the logs/ folder, saved as dated .log.gz files. Download and decompress them to read past runs.
