Introduction

Elite:Dangerous writes a network log file primarily to help when investigating problems.
Third-party tools developers have been reading some of the entries in the network log file, mainly in order to track the player's location.
There is a clear demand from players for third-party tools, and from tools developers for more information from the game and/or server api.
The new Player Journal provides a stream of information about gameplay events which can be used by tools developers to provide richer, more detailed tools to enhance the player experience. The data records written to this journal are much more high-level then that written to the network log.
A short example of a player journal file (out of date, some events may have additional data):

File Format

The Player Journal is written in line-delimited JSON format (see son.org and jsonlines.org), to provide a standard format for ease of machine parsing, while still being intelligible to the human reader.
Each Journal file is a series of lines each containing one Json object.

File Location

The journal files are written into the user's Saved Games folder, eg, for Windows:
C:\Users\User Name\Saved Games\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\
The filename is of the form Journal...log, similar to network log files

Heading entry

The Heading record has a Json object with the following values:
  • timestamp: the time in GMT, ISO 8601
  • part: the file part number
  • language: the language code
  • gameversion: which version of the game produced the log (will indicate if beta)
  • build: game build number
Example:
{ "timestamp":"2016-07-22T10:20:01Z", "event":"fileheader", "part":1, "language":"French/FR", "gameversion":"2.2 Beta 1", "build":"r114123 " }
(If the play session goes on a long time, and the journal gets very large, the file will be closed and a new file started with an increased part number: the heading entry is added at the beginning of every file. See also the "Continued" event)

Event Records

Each event record is a json object.
The object has a "timestamp" value with the time in ISO 8601 format, an "event":"eventname" key-value pair identifying the type of event, followed by other key-value pairs providing additional information.
The rest of this document describes each type of event that might be written into the journal, and the data values for each event.

Localisation

Some values written into the log use internal symbol IDs, as used by the game to lookup localised text strings. These have the form "$symbolname;"
When such values are written into the log, the iocalised version of the string will also be written (UTF8 encoded), as a separate key-value pair, with "_Localised" appended to the key name.
Examples throughout this document have not been updated with this extra localised format
"Government":"$government_PrisonColony;", "Government_Localised":"Colonie pénitentiaire"
