Help With PLex Log files

Server Version#: 4.108.0
Player Version#: NA

I recently had one of my drives crash i was able to recover some stuff using Raise Data Recovery but a portion was not recoverable, my question is when i download the logs is there a specific log file i can look at as the drive crash some time Friday into Saturday and because the files were not reachable by plex it removed the files from plex but is there a log file that can show me all the files deleted from my plex so i can see what files are missing as i do not delete hardly at all from my plex.

Simply restore an older database backup to revert this.

so restoring a previous database with the files gone will make it so the movies that i could not recover from the drive show up again in plex but will not be playable correct?

Precisely.

If the actual media files are missing,
you should disable “Empty trash automatically after every scan”, as well as automatic and periodic library scans before you do, to prevent them from being ousted immediately again.

You can use this tool to export a nice list, including the path names. You can then use a spreadsheet app to sort and filter: GitHub - WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG: WebTools Next Generation for Plex
