AddLogField Vs Log Message

[Asiri (Asiri Gamage)]

Hi,

I am somewhat new to UiPath. Can somebody explain me when to use when to use AddLogField Vs Log Message? If both types of messages are getting copied to Orchestrator, where I can view those and can I copy messages generated by both activities in to Elasticsearch?

I tried following thread but seems like little complicated for me.

Integrate 'Add Log Fields' into 'Log Message'

Hi there, So as many of you know if I want to log specific fields that will be used in kibana’s charts I have to use ‘Add Log Fields’ activity to declare those fields with specific values. They will be written in logs only after using ‘Log Message’ activity. This is already complicated and if we think about updating the log field value for adding it into logs multiple times in a process, this will complicate the problem even more. Another problem that we have is the large number of activities …

Thanks,
Asiri

Hey @Asiri,

Add Log Fields -Adds custom log fields to the [Robot Execution Logs]

Add Log Fields

Log Message- Writes the specified diagnostic message at the specified level. These messages are also sent to Orchestrator and displayed in the Logs page.

Log Message

Hi @Asiri

Those log fields appear as raw messages in the orchestrator logs.

I have shown the sample screenshot below.

Add the fields whatever you want to specify logs. Go to the orchestrator logs and select Log Message activity’s log and click view details.
