Logging troubleshooting

Duplicate execution logs

Description

On rare occasions, duplicate log entries would be written to the LiteDB local database, leading to an excessive amount of disk space taken by the log database. As a result, Orchestrator would also receive multiple duplicate log entries. Since the Robot could not write logs inside the database file, repeated attempts were made, without marking each attempt as sent.

Potential issue

The LiteDB database file becomes corrupt, making the Robot unable to perform read and write operations on the file.

Solution

If the LiteDB file becomes corrupt, restart the Robot Service. This creates a backup and generates a new file, to prevent the database from becoming corrupt again.
