Description
How many times has someone on your server told you that someone griefed there house, but they don't know who did it? Well, this is a great way to fix that. GriefLog will log every event that happens within your server. It will also separate the log files into worlds. So now you can prove that it was in fact a griefer. Now, you don't need to actually go into the log files, you can take out your GriefLog tool and left click on a block, it will bring up the information. You can also simply use a command to roll back the grief. More information is below.
Usage
So what exactly does GriefLog log? What can it do to help me? Well, GriefLog will log just about anything. It then saves it to a file called GriefLog.txt which can be found in "<YourServerDirectory>/logs/<world>/grieflog.txt." It is the same on every operating system. Here is a list of exactly GriefLog will log:
- When a player joins the server
- When a player breaks a block
- When a player places a block
- When a player uses a command
- When a player changes the world they are in (e.g. Entering the nether)
- When a player leaves the server
- If a player's game mode changes
- If a block is ignited
- If a bucket is emptied
- If an Enderman takes or places a block
- If a Zombie breaks down a door
- If there is any kind of explosion
All of this is logged to a very simple layout. You can choose a block with the GriefLog tool, Use the Search command, or look through the GriefLog.txt files.
Commands
We have many different commands to try and make the plugin as simple as possible to use.
- /glog - This will show you the version of GriefLog you are running.
- /glog tool - This will provide you with the GriefLog tool. You can set the tool in the config.yml
- /glog rollback <options> - to use roll backs, please read the section on our wiki here.
- /glog search <options> - You can search certain events. The options are the same used on the rollbacks.
- /glog page <page_number> - This will let you go through the other pages of your most recent search.
- /glog help - This will bring up the same information you see right here but within your Minecraft Client.
- /glog undo <id> - This will undo the rollback associated with the ID. Do not provide an ID to undo the most recent rollback.
- /glog report - This will report a grief. It will alert the admins of a report when they log in.
- /glog report view - Admins can view information of a grief report. It shows the location of the report, and the reporter.
Need Help?
We are here for you! Feel free to leave a comment, or better leave a ticket. **IMPORTANT**If you are willing to leave the IP address of your server within your ticket, pm, or comment, BlackWolf will be able to enter your server and will have the permission to use the /glog command to see what version you are running. You can disable this feature in the config.yml.

Metrics
GriefLog creates debug logs, since 5.2.0, in the plugin directory in case there is a problem. You can disable this in the configuration file with the option debug-logging. When you set this to false it will not log any debug information. This information is only used by me to find out more about a bug you might encounter. It will log things like how long it takes to search a file, what is being searched for and if there are any problems when searching, for instance a data type that has been corrupted that can cause the search to fail.
External connections
Since version 5.2.3 GriefLog uses an external service to get the UUID from his name. This has to be done because the search tries to find the UUID of the player you search for in the logs instead of his name. This is because when 1.8 gets here you can change your name, but you can't change your UUID. But to make sure that searching doesn't get more complicated I needed a way to let you guys search for a players name while GriefLog searches for his UUID. For that I currently use an external service until Bukkit will provide one for me, or if they don't I'll keep using this one.
@WASasquatch
That is fixed in the latest development build :)
Thanks for updating, I was looking forward to it. :) Best grief plugin around. Edit: Recent bug, not sure what all this is about.
@mat41997
In that case I can't fix the errors, sorry.
@blackwolf12333
Plugin EnderChestPlus
@mat41997
Do you know what kind of Inventory was opened when those errors occured?
I have seen that error before when someone tried to open a minecart chest, but that one is fixed now...
Error 2: http://pastebin.com/W3utgGNs
@mat41997
Is this the first time you setup GriefLog? Because that is probably the cause and nothing to worry about :)

@Blacksmithkazuma
I don't think I will be able to fix this. But I'll create a ticket out of your comment anyway.
Just something to test out as GL throws a error out each time. There is a plugin called Trading Cards, it is used on my server. Nifty little deal. They have what is called a Card Binder which is like an extra inventory but only for the cards. Each time you close/escape out of its window GL throws an error. I'll pastebin it and here is the link to the plugin if you like to see for yourself.
For me it is not a big issue lol just something you might be able to work around possibly in a future update. Once again thanks and great work.

13:48:00 [SEVERE] Could not pass event InventoryCloseEvent to GriefLog v5.0.3 org.bukkit.event.EventException
I used ShowCaseStandalone who update today
@StyphaX
Can you attach your group manager config to the ticket please? And tell me if you are OP, and in which groups you are in. I just tried without that and I couldn't reproduce the problem :/
@blackwolf12333
Hello, thanks for the help ;)
The version in the console is "git-Bukkit-1.5.2-R1.0-27-gdc25312-b2814jnks" Its the build 2814 from : http://dl.bukkit.org/downloads/craftbukkit/
Plugins used : ONLY grieflog and Essentials Group Manager
Thanks !
@StyphaX
Ok, that is a problem... Can you do /version and get me the output and give me a list of the plugins you are using?
I created a ticket for this error, we should discuss everything there from now on.
@blackwolf12333
Every command tells me the error ;) If I try "glog tool"
I can't use any command :D
@StyphaX
Hmm, that is quite weird. Not that it is a big problem as long as you can use the subcommands.
@blackwolf12333
Hi ! I used the command ingame ;)
Also ingame, I have an error in red like "an internal error occured while attempting to perform this command"
If I launch the command "glog" on the console : [INFO] [GriefLog] 5.0.3 No error.
@StyphaX
Well, it isn't a problem with GroupManager. But it is an interesting error, imma looking into it right now.
Did you use the command in game or on the console?
Ola !
I tried your plugin with Groupmanager and... when I try the glog command here it is :
What is the problem ?.... Your plugin needs something ?
Thanks a lot !
@WASasquatch
It shouldn't take long, I have fixed some stuff that will allow me to put out 5.0.3 so I guess that one will be up soon.
Also, the DroneIO builds are compatible with 1.6.2 and contain all these fixes. Just remember that that code hasn't been reviewed by bukkit moderators.
EDIT: I uploaded version 5.0.3 I guess it will be available for download in 24 houres.
