Defendr posts a card for every action it takes and for the server events you switch on. Each category has its own channel; categories without one fall back to the default log channel. If a server produces more cards than the limit allows in 10 seconds, the rest are folded into one digest card with a Show details button.

/setup › Logs & Updates › Log channels
Log channels
Pick a channel per category on the Logging page, or set only the default channel. Defendr needs View Channel, Send Messages, Embed Links and Attach Files there. Use Send test to all to check every configured channel at once.
Example
/setup › Logs & Updates › Log channels
Log channel problems
When Discord refuses a log card because the channel is gone or Defendr may not post there, the category is marked unhealthy, your Security Score drops, and Defendr posts one alert per category per day to the default log channel. The next successful card clears the mark.
Example
/setup › Details
Message content in logs
Log cards never contain message text unless you switch the content setting to defanged excerpt. Even then the excerpt is at most 300 characters, defanged and shown in a code block, and images are never re-posted. Mentions in log cards never notify anyone.
Example
/setup › Find a setting › Content in logs
What your team sees in Discord
