.log file for FFXIV network director codes that signal a wipe or victory, waits five seconds after the fight ends to ensure all events are written, then uploads that fight’s data as a new report segment. You keep playing; the report builds itself.
Open the plugin and go to the Live Log tab
Run
/fflogsuploader in the chat box. If you are not logged in, you will see the login window first — enter your FFLogs email and password. Once logged in, the main window opens on the Live Log tab by default.Set your log directory
The plugin attempts to auto-detect your ACT FFXIVLogs directory at
%APPDATA%\Advanced Combat Tracker\FFXIVLogs. If the path field is already populated and correct, leave it as-is. Otherwise click Browse to select your log directory manually.Choose guild, region, and visibility
Use the dropdowns to select where the report is uploaded:
- Guild: choose a guild from the list or leave it as Personal Logs.
- Region: select the data center region that matches your character’s home world (NA, EU, JP, or OC). The region selector only appears when uploading to personal logs.
- Visibility: Private is the default. Change to Public or Unlisted if needed.
Decide whether to include existing fights
The Include the Entire File in the Report checkbox controls whether fights already recorded in the current log file are uploaded when you start live logging.
- Checked (default): the entire log file is fed to the parser on startup, so any completed fights from the current session are included in the report.
- Unchecked: only fights that occur after you click Start Live Logging are uploaded.
Click Start Live Logging
Click the Start Live Logging button. The UI shows a green status line — Live logging active — along with a running count of fights uploaded and the report code once the first fight has completed.The plugin polls for new log lines every 500 ms and checks the directory for a newer log file every 10 seconds.
Play normally
Pull the boss. When the fight ends — wipe or kill — the plugin detects the director code, waits five seconds, and uploads the completed fight as a new report segment. The fight counter in the UI increments with each upload.
Stop live logging when done
Click Stop Live Logging. The plugin sends a cancellation signal, waits for any in-progress fight upload to finish, then terminates the report on FFLogs. The report is now fully processed.If at least one fight was uploaded, a View Parses button appears below the stop button so you can open the Parse Viewer immediately.
No FFLogs report is created until the first fight completes. If you start live logging but stop before any fight ends, nothing is uploaded and no report is created on FFLogs.
If ACT starts a new log file while you are live logging — for example, after crossing a day boundary or restarting ACT — the plugin detects the newer file within 10 seconds and switches to it automatically, draining any remaining lines from the old file first.
