Logs in Runner

The log files are those that has all the details of the running status of the bots. Any activity that is executed through the runner is printed in the logs. The logs tab in the runner has only the execution log printed in it. To see the product log, activity log and the runner log, navigate to the Appdata folder.

The logs in the runner can be turned on or off using the toggle key. When it is turned on, we can see the execution log printed in the logs screen of the runner. When it is turned off, the execution log is not printed in the logs screen of the runner.

Log Settings

To edit the log settings, navigate to the settings icon within the log page on the left-hand side. The log page also has four icons which is info, debug, error, and trace and these are used as filters which when enabled shows the log only of the enabled log type.

Log Type

There are three types of logs available for selection: the execution log, the activity log, and the product log.

1. Execution log: This log provides a detailed record of the steps executed by the bot, offering insights into the sequence of actions taken during its operation.

2. Activity log: In the activity log, you’ll find a comprehensive list of all activities utilized within the workflow, accompanied by their respective execution states. This log serves as a valuable resource for tracking and analyzing the workflow’s performance.

3. Product log (Runner log): The product log, also referred to as the runner log, offers a focused view of the runner’s activities and highlights any errors encountered within the application. It provides crucial information for debugging and troubleshooting issues.

By default, the execution log is visible within the application interface, allowing users to toggle its visibility as needed for monitoring and review purposes.

Log Level

Choose the log level based on what you wish to be printed on the screen. The log levels that are applied can be categorized between Debug, Info, Trace and error.

Any execution that is done will be printed in the logs. What we will see in the output panel or the execution log, is
• Execution started – Generated every time a workflow starts execution
• Execution start time – Generates the exact time when the execution started.
• Execution ended – Generated every time a workflow has ended.
• Execution end time – Generates the exact time when the execution ended.
• Total execution duration – Generates the total execution duration of the workflow.

The execution log and the output panel will show the log level, message and timestamp. To see the detailed log file based on the log level chosen, we need to navigate to the log files inside app data where we can view what is printed in the log file based on the log level chosen.
