Automatically Upload WoW Combat Logs

How to Automatically Upload WoW Combat Logs — No More Alt-Tabbing

No more hunting for your WoWCombatLog file after every raid. The WowCoach Desktop App watches your combat log folder and uploads automatically when your M+ key or raid session ends, so you can just play the game.

This post is from an earlier season or launch and is kept for reference. Some details may have changed since.

You just timed a +12. The key was flawless, and you want to see your parse and your (nonexistent) deaths. First, though, you alt-tab, find the Logs folder, find today's file, open WowCoach, upload, wait, open the report and find the dungeon. By then someone has already pulled the next key. The WowCoach Desktop App beta exists to remove every step of that routine: your logs get uploaded automatically.

The WowCoach Desktop App

It is a small app that sits in your system tray and does one job: it uploads your logs automatically when your runs end.

When your M+ finishes, the log uploads. When your raid ends, the log uploads. There is no file hunting and no "I'll check it later," and you can go straight from the dungeon to your analysis. (Need to turn on combat logging first? See how to enable combat logging in WoW.)

How automatic uploads work

Install it. One download, runs on Windows.
Log in with the same Battle.net account you use for WowCoach.
Play WoW.

The app detects when WoW is running, finds your combat log and watches it. When a Mythic+ key ends, timed or depleted, the log uploads. When your raid session ends, the same thing happens.

A small overlay shows status, such as streaming or an upload in progress. It stays out of the way, because you are there to play the game, not to watch progress bars.

Raids and the break timer

Raids don't end as cleanly as keys. Groups take breaks, swap bosses, argue about loot and take more breaks.

So when you leave the raid instance, the app starts a break timer, 30 minutes by default and configurable. Come back before it expires and the session continues. If you don't, the app assumes raid night is over and uploads what you have. That ends both the forgotten post-raid upload and the log lost because you closed WoW first.

Live Analysis for Pro users

Pro subscribers can turn on Live Analysis, which uploads each encounter as it ends: boss kills, boss wipes, even individual M+ pulls.

That means you can read your wipe analysis between pulls. Tab over, see what the coach found, adjust the strategy and go again, instead of waiting until the end of the night. After a key, the AI Run Summary is ready before you load into the next one.

It is not real-time streaming; the normal combat log delay of a few seconds still applies. But it is close enough to use the insights during progression rather than after it. Why wait until tomorrow to learn what killed you when the answer is about 10 seconds away?

What beta means here

This is a beta. It works, and we have been using it internally, but there are probably edge cases we haven't hit, WoW configurations we haven't tested and features we haven't built yet.

We are asking beta users to download it, run some keys, look for bugs and edge cases, and tell us what they find by Discord, email or whatever works. In return you get early access to a much simpler log workflow.
