Invite the bots

Visit kovra.xyz and click Add to Discord on each of Guard, Desk, and Rise.Each bot only asks for the permissions it needs:
  • Guard — Ban, Kick, Manage Messages, Manage Roles, Manage Channels, View Audit Log, Moderate Members.
  • Desk — Manage Channels, Send Messages, Embed Links, Attach Files, Read Message History.
  • Rise — Send Messages, Embed Links, Manage Roles, Connect, Speak (for voice XP).
You can install any subset. The dashboard detects which bots are in your server and only shows config for those.

Open the dashboard

Go to dash.kovra.xyz and sign in with Discord. Pick the server you just invited the bots to.You’ll need the Manage Server permission to configure anything. View-only access works without it.

Set your log channel

From Settings → Logging, pick a channel where Guard should post moderation logs. Every ban, kick, mute, warning, and AutoMod trigger lands here with a clickable case number.For advanced routing you can send each event class to a different channel — see Logging.

Turn on AutoMod

From AutoMod → Rules, enable the presets you want. Kovra ships with sensible defaults for spam, mention flood, invite links, and new-account join flood.Every trigger shows up in the Triggers feed so you can see what got caught and tune from there.

Take your first moderation action

Press ⌘K / Ctrl+K on any dashboard page to open the command palette. Type a member’s name, press Enter, and pick an action — ban, kick, mute, warn, or note.The action fires through the Action Queue and the case appears in your log channel + case browser within a second.
