Project Zomboid: Server Log Analyzer
Pick your
console.txt
or paste the last few hundred lines of any Zomboid server log. We flag missing mods,
Workshop download failures, version mismatches, map load errors, port conflicts, and
out-of-memory
crashes in plain language.
When the log points to a mod that failed to load or wasn't found, the
Project Zomboid Mod Config Checker
reconciles your servertest.ini against what each Workshop item actually provides
and hands back the corrected, startable config.
Your log never leaves your browser. By default the analysis runs entirely in this tab - the matching rules are downloaded to the page and applied locally. Verify with the network tab open. Only anonymous findings metadata (which rule categories matched) is sent back to improve the analyzer - never log content. A server-side analysis remains available below if you prefer it.
Analyze on the server instead
This path sends the log to our server. We strip passwords, tokens, private IPs, and Discord webhooks before storage - the log isn't kept, only a hash of the redacted text we analyze. Redact secrets yourself first to be safe.
How to grab your log
- Linux dedicated:
~/Zomboid/Logs/console.txt - Windows:
%USERPROFILE%\Zomboid\Logs\console.txt - Pick the whole file - it's read locally, and for huge logs we analyze the last 25 MB where the crash or startup failure lands.
In-browser analysis never sends the log anywhere; feedback sends findings metadata only. The optional server-side path strips passwords, tokens, IPs, and Discord webhooks before storage, and keeps a hash of the redacted text - not the text itself.

What you can try
- Check common causes: missing dependency, removed Workshop item, map order, wrong game version, memory too low for the mod pack.
-
Regenerate your config from your Steam collection:
the Workshop Collection importer
rebuilds
WorkshopItems=/Mods=/Map=with current data and flags items that have been removed or made private. - Get full AI diagnosis on Supercraft: Supercraft customers get the AI Server Doctor, which sees live deployment signals (memory, port state, OOM history, journald) - much more than pasted log text alone.
