Exporting logs

Configuring robot logs export

To export Robot logs generated in your Orchestrator services to Azure, follow the specific procedures described further. 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. Select Services.
4. On the card for Orchestrator, select the More icon 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.

Tip: You can configure static IPs to the allowlist and not open your network to all external IPs. Go to Settings > Networking > Public access > Firewall > Address range in Azure Blob Storage to add the static IPs. Check the Configuring the firewall page for the full list of IPs.

The following storage options are supported:

• Standard locally-reduntant storage (LRS)
• Standard geo-redundant storage (GRS)
• Standard read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS)
• Standard zone-redundant storage (ZRS)
• Premium LRS

For more information on types of storage, check the Storage account overview page from the official Azure documentation.

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. Select Save. A notification is displayed letting you know that you successfully configured robot logs export.
5. In your Blob Storage Account in Azure Portal:
   • Select Network under Settings in the left-hand panel.
   • Select Allow access from > All networks.

   • Select Save to save the changes.

   
   

   

   
   
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.
