URGENT: We are aware of an issue where users cannot enable the Workshop Inspector Log File in their game settings. Blizzard is aware of the issue and we are waiting for a fix. We will update this page when the issue is resolved.
Introduction
This documentation is a work in progress. If you have any questions, please reach out to us on Discord (opens in a new tab) or send us an email at [email protected].
Welcome to Parsertime! This is the home for our documentation. Here you can learn more about our platform, how to use it, and more.
What is Parsertime?
Parsertime is a tool used to visualize the data collected from Overwatch scrim logs. You can create an account, form a team, upload your scrims, and invite your team to view their data. You can see graphs for damage, eliminations, fights, and view data and statistics for both teams and individual players.
Collecting Scrim Logs
To gather your data, you must first turn on Gameplay > Enable Workshop Inspector
Log File in your Overwatch settings. This setting can be found here:
Please note that the Workshop Inspector will only export logs for the lobby host. We recommend hosting the lobby to ensure that you collect the logs for your team.
Once this is enabled, use the ScrimTime workshop code (opens in a new tab)
(DKEEH) to gather the logs. Turn on Enable Log Generator in Workshop Settings.
We DO NOT recommend changing the other Log Generator settings. Parsertime
is designed to work with the default settings. Changing these settings
may result in files too large to upload.
The logs will be exported to your Documents/Overwatch/Workshop folder. It is
recommended to make sure you delete any logs that are only 1kb; incomplete logs
can be generated which will not work well with Parsertime.
What stats are collected?
By default, the following stats are collected:
- Match Start & End
- Round Start & End
- Objective Captures
- Control Point Progress Increment
- Payload Progress Increment
- Kills & Deaths
- Offensive & Defensive Assists
- Hero Spawn
- Hero Swaps
- Ultimates Charged & Used
- D.Va Demechs & Remechs
- D.Va Remech Charged
- Echo Duplicates
- Mercy Resurrects
- Player Stat Summary
We are able to visualize these stats for each map.
Uploading Scrim Logs
Once you are signed in, you can create and upload new scrims from the dashboard. Click
the button labeled Create Scrim. Add a title, assign a team, pick a date, and upload
the logs for the first map (you can add the rest later).
Common Errors
This documentation is a work in progress. Not all errors are documented here. If you have any questions, please reach out to us on Discord (opens in a new tab) or send us an email at [email protected].
Invalid Log Format (500)
If you try to create the scrim and see an Invalid Log Format (500) error, try to search
through the logs and see if any of the stats are appearing as ****. Sometimes, the log
generator runs into issues and cannot correctly add the stats. If this happens, replace
the stat with the number you believe is accurate. Once you reupload the logs, the scrim
should create successfully.
Internal Server Error (500)
If you see this error, it is likely that the mistake is on our end. Please reach out to us via email or Discord and we will help you resolve the issue. You can find us on Discord (opens in a new tab) or by emailing us at [email protected].
Unauthorized (401)
If you see this error, it is likely that your session has expired. Try logging out and back in. If the issue persists, please reach out to us via email or Discord and we will help you resolve the issue. You can find us on Discord (opens in a new tab) or by emailing us at [email protected].
Another reason you may see this error is if you are trying to upload a map to a scrim created for a team that you are not a manager of. If you are a manager of the team, try logging out and back in. If the issue persists, please reach out to us for further assistance.
