What are the types of logs generated by the execution of a process?

  • Choose one of the options below
 

Studio Logs

 

Robot Execution Logs

 

Setup Logs

 

Process Execution Logs

 

The types of logs generated by the execution of a process are called Robot Execution Logs. They can be further split into default logs and user-defined logs.

 

Which of the following events generate log entries by default when executing a process in run mode?

  • Choose all the options that apply

 

  • Execution start

  • Invoking a workflow file 

  • Transaction end

  • Getting data from an external source

  • Execution end

  • Transaction start

  • Error log

  • Variables  log

     

    It's useful to know what the default Robot Execution logs are so we don't duplicate data and make the log files larger and harder to read. If you need more information revisit the Default Logs section in this lesson. 

     

     

     

Match the definitions with the logging levels.

  • The robot cannot or should not recover from the error.
  • An error has occurred. The robot will try to recover.
  • An important piece of information we want to stand out from the other logs.
  • Information about the robot's progress.
  • Information useful while developing/debugging but not useful in production.
 
 

Revisit the Logging Levels section for more information on what each level means. This information is useful for both levels: 

  • To interpret the default log severity.
  • To set the correct level for user-generated logs.

Logs are in the form of JSON, key-value pairs where the field is the key and the information in that field is the value. 

 

How would you access the Robot Execution Logs in Studio?

  • Choose one of the options below
 

 

Access the Design Tab > Click Open Log 

 

 

Access the Debug Tab > Click Open Logs > Open the execution log file

 

 

Access the Home Tab > Click Settings > Click Logs > Open the execution log file 

 

 

Access the Project panel > Click File explorer > Access the logs folder in your project > Open the desired execution log file

Logs are accessed locally by clicking Debug, selecting Open Logs and accessing the Execution file for the desired date.  

 

Order the steps to activate Verbose level logging in Studio?

  • Navigate to the Debug tab
  • Enable Log activities
  • Run the process in Debug mode
  • Click Open Logs
