Server Admin Logs not reporting all kills

Recommended Posts

A few people have died on my server in questionable ways. When I've checked the logs there's no mention of them dying at all. An Admin's son was killed multiple times and when I checked the log it just shows him connecting and disconnecting, but nothing about being killed.

 

Has anyone else experienced this?

Only shows players being killed by other players currently. So, if they've died to a bug, it will not be shown.

I believe environment deaths will be coming.

He's positive it was player kills.

Does being knocked unconscious and then respawning count as a kill in the log?

I tested this myself on my own server, can confirm not all kills display in the logs

Just like with all things DayZ related, the first iteration of a mechanic is rarely ideal.

If someone gets shot by another character and left to bleed out on their own, It will not show up in the logs. It will only show the kill in the logs, if the last (x) amounts of points before death, were given by another player.

Not to mention point blank headshots, that kill you instantly

The kill logs and missing kills is being looked into, it seems to drop some of them depending on server perf. Damage was removed because it was bloating the logs in insane ways in the first implementation (you`re talking going from 3mb log to 400-500mb log easily)

How about fully healthy to dead. 

ask yourself, if you got shot directly in the head from fully healthy to dead.. how would you die? wouldn't you have to take damage? and if by another player.. wouldn't they had to of given you that damage?

 

We are talking about kill logs, sir.

 

Why wouldn't a point-blank shot to the head by another player, show up in the logs?

I spoke to Vilayer about it. Vilayer said they haven't implemented kill logs yet, just connect/disconnect...

 

I know they're currently migrating servers  due to performance, so hopefully they'll add them in then, but still annoying.

I am with Vilayer and we certainly do have kill logs, unless of course you're a public hive. If that's the case then... No soup for you!

I get the odd kill  here and there logged, but not every one. This is a private server, too.

 

I had a public server with Multiplay, and every kill was logged on there. I could even use DaRT with that public server.

 

Edit: Checked logs last night after coming off and the kill logs seem to be plentiful now.
