Configuring Log Rules

Overview

Robot logs capture diagnostic and execution logs. You can configure the conditions for which Robot logs are ingested by Insights. For example, you only want to capture logs for Processes that include a specific name.

For more information, see Robot logs.

Configure Log Rules

Note:

• Only administrators should change the values in the Orchestrator configuration file.
• Back up the UiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config file before proceeding. You can find the file in C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Orchestrator.
• Restart the website after making changes to Orchestrator configuration file.
• All parameters are case sensitive.
• For best performance, Robot Logs generated over a two-year timeframe shouldn't exceed 200 million records.
• Use the NLog configuration file to capture data that is relevant for Insights in your environment and reduce the number of records generated by Robot Logs.

1. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Orchestrator and open the UiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config file to modify Orchestrator settings.
2. Find the Robot Logs parameters (e.g., <logger name="Robot.*" environmentSpecificConfiguration/>)
3. Configure a filter with a default action (e.g., filters defaultAction="Ignore").
4. Configure conditions based on the log level or other events (see Log rules example).
5. Save the file and restart Orchestrator.

For more information on configuring the Orchestrator configuration file, see UiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config.

Log Rules Examples

The following examples show custom log rule configurations for Info and Error level logs. By setting specific conditions, Insights ingests logs only for the processes that you configure.
