I found the following reddit post while I was looking for information on the STO combat log files. https://www.reddit.com/r/stobuilds/comments/39ku0q/understanding_the_sto_combat_log/

Example file output from a STO combat log.

How each line breaks down by field:

A STO combat log is basically a CSV file. Assuming the author of the above reddit post is correct, a log line breaks down to the following fields.

  1. Timestamp
  2. Display name of owner
  3. Internal name of owner
  4. Display name of source(only appears if Pet/Gravity Well etc)
  5. Internal name of source
  6. Display name of target
  7. Internal name of target
  8. Display name of event
  9. Internal name of event
  10. Type(Shield or Plasma/Antiproton etc)
  11. Flags(Critical, Flank, Dodge, Miss etc)
  12. Magnitude
  13. Base magnitude

The above fields are what I use to populate my CombatEvent object.
