Nitrado Settings
Nitrado server settings that affect what Vigil can detect.
Most of Vigil's modules work out of the box with no special Nitrado configuration. However, a few features depend on specific options being enabled or disabled in your Nitrado server settings. This page explains which ones and why.
Settings that matter
Reduce Log Output
Location: Nitrado dashboard → your server → Settings → General
This setting controls how much detail DayZ writes to your server's log file. When it is ON, Nitrado suppresses a large portion of log content to reduce file size.
For Vigil to work correctly, this setting should be OFF.
With "Reduce Log Output" enabled, many events — including detailed kill data, connection events, and RPT log entries — may be missing or incomplete.
Turning off "Reduce Log Output" will increase the size of your log files. This is expected and has no impact on server performance. Vigil handles large log files efficiently.
Multi Account Mitigation (MAM)
Location: Nitrado dashboard → your server → Settings → General
This is a Nitrado feature that writes additional identity data to your server's RPT log. Specifically, it logs the console device ID associated with each player's account when they connect.
Vigil's Alt Detection module requires this to be ON.
Without MAM enabled, Vigil cannot cross-reference device IDs and alt detection will not function.
MAM is supported on both PS4 and Xbox servers. It is not exclusive to one platform. Both platforms write the same [NetworkServer::CheckMAMData] line format to the RPT log when MAM is active.
Summary
| Setting | Required state | Affects |
|---|---|---|
| Reduce Log Output | OFF | All modules — log detail |
| Multi Account Mitigation | ON | Alt Detection only |
If you're unsure whether these are set correctly, check your Nitrado dashboard under your server's Settings tab. Changes take effect after the next server restart.
