# Logging Overview

> Understand how Flare logs events and how to configure each category.

## Overview

Flare uses **Discord Webhooks** for logging. When you enable a log category, Flare creates a webhook in your chosen channel and delivers formatted embed logs for every relevant event.

### Why Webhooks?

* Logs appear with Flare's branding regardless of bot status
* Webhooks are faster than regular messages
* Each category is independent — if one breaks, others keep working
