Feature Request: Monitor Discord Bots

[tankcr]

We have a server to discord bot, but the plugin doesn't pick up anything it posts from the server. Just requesting this feature be added :)

[LyricLy]

...what?

[LyricLy]

Ah, the keyword logger? Yes, it ignores bots, which is by design.

[tankcr]

This doesn't work for scenarios where you would like to monitor what people are chatting about on your server. Is there a way to turn off/on that capability in a config or some such?

[LyricLy]

Not currently, no. How does this not work for those scenarios?

[tankcr]

ok consider, you are running a game server, you want to monitor in game chat for swearing through the discord bot, say for instance.

[LyricLy]

Incorporate that into the bot itself?

I see what he asking for- for example- if a game server chat is relayed through a Discord bot (webhooks or bot messages) and you want alerts when people say certain words.
I'd find that mighty useful.

I did actually try doing this a while back, but your bot can only pickup messages posted by non-bot users. I could see other applications for this too- say, you want a keyword set up for when a bot says something in a support channel.

If I’m understanding the issue correctly, you want to monitor for keywords or phrases. Just make a private channel in any server you have the proper elevated permissions for and use the notify/log cog. Set that up to be specifically looking in the server(s) you need to and then make a word list. Whenever those keywords are said the webhook you create will show the message containing the word and a few previous messages above it for context, who said it and in which channel it was said.

[LyricLy]

No, they specifically want to log bots, which are ignored by that method.

[tankcr]

exactly!

same here. we need notifications for messages created from bots. This is not working at the current version.
