Steps to Enable Chat Logger Feature

1. Install the Plugin

   • Install the CS2 Chat Logger plugin on your CS2 Server.

2. Configure the Plugin

   • Update the discord webbook section of CS2 Chat Logger plugin configuration as follows:

   "SendLogToWebHook": 3,
   "WebHookURL": "http://YOUR-WEB-SERVER-IP-PORT/api/chat-logger?server_id=1&chat_logger_token=VerySecureTokenHere",
   "LogDiscordChatFormat": "[{DATE} - {TIME}] {TEAM} {MESSAGE} (IpAddress: {IP})",

   • Ensure "SendLogToWebHook" and "LogDiscordChatFormat" are just like this.
   • Enter anything random in chat_logger_token. It will act as a password
   • Include a unique server_id for each server.

3. Enable Chat Logger on the Web Server

   • Here are the values you need to set in your (config.toml) file of your cs2dasboard server:

    [global]
    vipCore = false
    simpleAdmin = false
    chatLogger = true # Set this to true
    chatLoggerToken = 'VerySecureTokenHere' # This MUST match the "chat_logger_token" in your discord webhook url
    mysqlHost = 'localhost'
    mysqlPort = 3306
    mysqlUser = 'root'
    mysqlDatabase = 'dbname'
    mysqlPassword = 'password'
   
    [[servers]]
    serverName = 'Good Name'
    serverIp = '127.0.0.1'
    serverPort = 27015
    rconPort = 27015
    rconPassword = 'password'
    simpleAdminId = 36
    vipCoreId = 0
    chatLoggerId = 1 # The "server_id" value you are using in your discord webhook url for this server

   • Ensure chatLogger is set to true.
   • Set chatLoggerToken to match the token used in the Discord webhook URL.

4. Not working?

   • Make sure the /api/chat-logger path of your web server is completely public. No basic auth or any kind of auth. The chatLoggerToken insures no one else can post messages to it.
