Combat Log Reader

Upload a .log file exported from Star Trek Online to see your DPS and combat performance. Nothing is uploaded to a server or saved anywhere — this all happens right here in your browser, unless you choose to create a shareable link or submit to the leaderboard.

Don't have a combat log yet?

  1. Type /CombatLog 1 in the STO chat window right before the fight you want to record.
  2. Type /CombatLog 0 once the fight is over to stop logging.
  3. Find the file in your Star Trek Online install folder, under Star Trek Online\Live\logs\GameClient\. Look for Combatlog.log, or — if you have several — the most recent Combatlog_<date>_<time>.log file.

What the Combat Log Reader does

Star Trek Online can write everything that happens in a fight to a plain text file, but that file is thousands of lines long and impossible to read by eye. The Combat Log Reader turns it into something you can act on. It works out your damage per second across the fight, your peak DPS, and your critical hit rate, then breaks your damage and healing down by ability so you can see which weapons, powers, and traits are actually carrying your build and which are barely contributing. If the log includes damage you took, it repeats the same kind of breakdown for incoming damage, so you can see what is hurting you most.

How to use it

  1. Record a fight in game with the two chat commands above.
  2. Choose the .log file with the Choose File button on this page.
  3. If the file contains more than one fight, pick the one you want to look at.
  4. Read your results: the headline numbers first, then the breakdowns underneath. The results guide explains exactly what each stat measures.
  5. Change something in your build, run the same content again, and compare.

Your log stays yours

The file is read and analyzed entirely inside your browser, and no account is needed. Nothing leaves your computer unless you choose to. If you want to show someone your results, you can create a shareable link, and you can also add a run to the community leaderboard. Both are optional.

Pair it with the Build Planner

The Combat Log Reader works best alongside the Build Planner. Plan a build there, fly it, then upload the log here to see what it really does. The guide on using the Build Planner to improve your DPS walks through that loop step by step.
