# log\_irssi(7ctrlproxy)

Irssi-style log files

## NAME

log\_irssi - Irssi-style log files

## DESCRIPTION

Module that logs IRC data to the specified file in the same format that the [irssi(1)](/irssi/1.md) IRC client uses.

Each channel or nick gets it's own seperate log file, which is located in a directory with the name of the IRC network.

If no directory is specified, data will be logged to *$HOME/.ctrlproxy/log\_irssi/$NETWORK/$CHANNEL*.

## CONFIGURATION

The following XML elements are supported:

  Should specify a base path that log files are to be generated in. For each network, a subdirectory will be created in this directory.
