What is AdminWatchdog?

AdminWatchdog monitors what staff members do on your server. When an admin runs a command, changes gamemode, or takes items from creative mode, the plugin sends a message to your Discord channel. Helps you keep track of staff activity and catch misuse.

What it does

- Sends Discord messages when admins run commands - Tracks gamemode switches - Logs items taken from creative inventory - Sets up custom alerts for specific commands - Only monitors who you want to monitor - Lets trusted admins bypass monitoring

Features

Discord alerts

- Instant notifications in your Discord server - Nice looking messages with item pictures - Ping specific roles for important commands - Works with any Discord channel using webhooks

What gets monitored

- Commands run by admins - Commands run from console - Gamemode changes - Items taken from creative inventory

Who gets monitored

You choose:

- Only OPs - Only players with certain permissions - Or everyone

You can also give trusted admins a bypass permission so they don't get logged.

Custom command alerts

Set up special alerts for commands you care about. You can even match specific command patterns:

- `ban` - matches any ban command - `lp user` - matches LuckPerms user commands - `lp user * permission set *` - matches only when someone sets a permission

Get pinged only for the important stuff, like when someone grants a dangerous permission.

Custom alerts

Set up alerts for specific commands:

```yaml custom-responses: enabled: true

Alert when someone uses /ban

ban: "BAN - %player% banned someone at %time%"

Alert and ping a role when someone uses /op

op: "CRITICAL - %player% used OP! <@&YOUR_ROLE_ID> at %time%"
