LogWarden

Automatically turns on combat logging in dungeons, raids and PvP, asks before stopping it when you leave, and shows whether it's on.

LogWarden

Never forget to start your combat log again. LogWarden turns logging on the moment you enter an instance, asks before stopping it when you leave, and shows you at a glance whether it's running.

Features

  • Automatic logging in dungeons, raids, battlegrounds, arenas and scenarios. No more forgetting /combatlog before the first pull.
  • Asks before stopping. When you leave the instance, a popup asks "Stop combat logging?". Choose No to keep the log going.
  • Zone back in safely. If you pop back into the instance before answering, the question disappears and logging simply continues.
  • ON/OFF indicator on screen: always shown inside instances (green ON or red OFF), and outside only while logging is on.
  • Advanced Combat Logging warning. An orange note appears if the setting is off, since you need it for complete logs and Warcraft Logs uploads.
  • Respects your choice. If you start logging yourself with /combatlog, LogWarden never stops it for you.
  • Lightweight. No timers or per-frame updates. It only reacts to zone changes, setting changes and logging being turned on or off.

Slash commands

Command What it does
/lw Unlock or lock the indicator (drag it while unlocked)
/lw unlock Unlock the indicator so you can move it
/lw lock Lock the indicator in place
/lw reset Move the indicator back to the top of the screen

/logwarden works the same as /lw.

Notes

  • Log files are saved to World of Warcraft\<version>\Logs\WoWCombatLog-<date>.txt, ready for Warcraft Logs.
  • Turn on Options > Network > Advanced Combat Logging for complete logs.
  • If you stop logging with /combatlog inside an instance, it stays off until your next loading screen or zone change inside an instance.
