How do I enable admin logging?
We recently rented a server from survivalservers.com and set it up, currently it's running well and we are starting to see our first wave of players.

We want to play in our server as well as administrate and have no intention of using any spawning commands or force taking etc. But to give our players piece of mind we agreed before we even set up the server we would enable admin logging.

Here's where the problem begins, on the administrative console side, there is no option to simply check a box and enable this setting.

My question to those who are hosting servers and have this setting enabled is, how do I enable it on this server?

Most services have easier config file setups, so they probaby have it as a checkbox. If you need to add it manually, it will go in the GameUserSettings.ini file, under the [ServerSettings] section.

Add this to your GameUserSettings.INI

AdminLogging=True

You need to acces your server files. I also rent a server from a website and in their server admin control panel are just a few server settings I can change because their panel isn't updated with all the new ark server settings. Because I've also hosted a server on my own pc I knew how to manually change and add settings myself.

For me I just logged into the admin control pannel on the website and accessed the server folders and then you need to get into these folders:
\Steam Library\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\WindowsServer\GameUserSettings.ini

The last one is the file wich holds all your server settings and if you opened it you can add and change things manually under [ServerSettings]

Then you need to look for this:
AdminLogging=true (if it's not there just add the line yourself)

Ok... So I don't get it. I can access these files via the website easy enough. What I cannot do to them is edit them like I can edit the .ini files that are saved locally on my machine. How do I edit the Gameusersettings in the actual web site? There is no option here to edit!

the FTP information you dictate on your control panel + the link I just gave you should cover it. 8)
