DayZ ADM logs explained
Understand what ADM logs are, why they matter for console DayZ servers, and how they power killfeeds, online boards, heatmaps, audit feeds, and player activity tools.
Console servers cannot rely on the same modded access that many PC servers use. ADM logs give a practical source of truth for Discord feeds, dashboard activity, and staff visibility.
Wandering Bot looks for known event patterns, extracts names and coordinates where possible, deduplicates repeated log lines, and routes each event into the correct feed or dashboard record.
If feeds stop, check that the latest ADM file is being pulled, the server profile points to the correct Nitrado service, and the feed route still points at the intended Discord channel.
Nitrado tokenCreated from your Nitrado account so the bot can read server status and settings.
Service IDYour DayZ server service number from Nitrado.
FTP detailsFTP username and password so approved XML tools can upload safely.
Server basicsMap, platform, restart timing, staff roles, and the channels you want feeds posted into.
Questions Server Owners Ask
Are ADM logs the same as RPT logs?No. ADM logs are used for player activity. RPT logs are more useful for server startup, CE events, warnings, and live spawn tracking.
Can ADM logs show exact player locations?Some activity lines include coordinates. Wandering Bot can turn those into map links and heatmap records.
Why do duplicate events happen sometimes?Some DayZ actions can produce more than one related log line. Wandering Bot uses fingerprints and event-specific guards to reduce duplicate feed posts.
