Help Orchestrator

Hi @Varun_Dharni,

Cloud Orchestrator as the name suggests will not allow you to automatically connect your Kibana / Elastic search instance to incoming logs nor does it allow you to export logs from GUI.

If you want to use Kibana with Community Edition, there are two ways.

  1. Use the the attended / unattended robot logs and forward it to your Kibana instance. Each robot execution generates a log file and log files are named by short date and are grouped by 1 day frequency. You will find log files of community edition in C:/Users/%USERNAME%/Appdata
  2. Use API to get logs from Cloud Orchestrator and save them in a folder. Later forward those log files to you Kibana instance

Why make it so difficult?
Although UiPath offers connectors to Kibana / Elastic search in enterprise version via Nlog, they do not do that to community version. It is understandable as community edition is a great tool and they can give all of the features. In addition, UiPath does want to sell their own product called Insights. These licenses schemes are a maze, lets spare that discussion!

If you want to learn more on how this can be done for enterprise edition, you can read this thread: Logs - ElasticSearch - Help / Insights - UiPath Community Forum
