Exporting logs

Configuring robot logs export

To export Robot logs generated in your Orchestrator services to Azure, see the specific procedures described below. Logs are saved in a .csv file in the uipathrobotlogs container. The export is done on a per-tenant basis which facilitates the following:

• Storing logs that must be retained for compliance and audit purposes.

• Analyzing and visualizing log output in your own reporting or BI tools.

  Note: When configuring the log export page, we do not support backfilling of 30 days worth of logs.

1. Log in to your Automation Cloud™ Public Sector account.
2. Navigate to Admin and select the tenant in the panel on the left.
3. Click Services.
4. On the card for Orchestrator, click and select Log Export Configuration.

   The Configuration panel opens at the right of the window.

5. Enable the Send robot logs to custom storage toggle.
6. Continue using procedure described in the Azure section.

Azure

1. From the Storage Type drop-down, select Azure Storage Account.
   
   

   

   
   
2. In the Azure Blob Connection String field, enter the blob connection string as retrieved from Azure Portal.
   
   

   

   
   
3. On the Container Name field, enter the name of the container used to store the .csv in Azure. By default, that is uipathrobotlogs. If a custom container name is provided and it does not yet exist, the container will be created for you.
4. Click Save. A notification is displayed letting you know that you successfully configured robot logs export.
5. In your Blob Storage Account in Azure Portal:
   • Click Network under Settings in the left-hand panel.
   • Select Allow access from > All networks.

   • Click Save to save the changes.

   Note:

   Specific networks are not supported.

   
   

   

   
   
6. Within an hour, a .csv log file is generated in the blob storage. The .csv is generated in the uipathrobotlogs container, under the following folder hierarchy [tenant_key]/[year]/[month]/[day]/[hour]/output. It is recommended to map one tenant to a container, as the tenant key is the only way to distinguish between tenants if multiple are routed to one container.
