Help

Hi again, i post a question earlier about this topic (Cannot log events in Orchestrator after running Jobs), but with no successful solution, so studying and testing the configuration and files i came across the Nlog file in the Studio installation folder, to my knowledge this file controls the creation of the robot´s logs, my question is, there is a way to modify this file to force the log to Orchestrator? No matter how configuration i change i can´t see the logs on Orchestrator.

Hi
Let’s check first whether we have the access to see the logs
For that check with your role whether you have access
—for that go to the top right corner of the orchestrator page and click on the username and under that click in user and once user page opens click on roles tab and check whether you have got the access to VIEW THE LOGS

kindly check that once and let know for any queries or clarification

Hi @Bruno_Silveira_UY

Location of NLog file: \NLog.config

By default internal Robot diagnostic logs are sent to Event Viewer, as specified in the following lines from NLog.config:

Editing the NLog.config file requires administrator permissions. The UiRobot.exe service needs to be restarted if the Internal target is changed in the NLog.config file for the changes to take effect.

By default Robot Execution Logs are stored in a file in the %LocalAppData%\UiPath\Logs folder. The messages are collected by the Execution type logger and can be forwarded by using NLog targets, as specified by the following parameters in the NLog.config file:

If the Robot is connected to Orchestrator, all execution logs are sent to Orchestrator and can be seen in the Logs page.
Additionally, log targets and content can be configured by editing the NLog.config file.

Here editing the NLog.config file requires administrator permissions. The Robot service does not need to be restarted for the changes to take effect in contrast to diagnostic logs :slight_smile:

Hope this helps!

Hi Bruno,

Please follow below steps:
Step 1) first enable nlog in web.config file
Step 2) in nlog file provide customize log file path if required.

If it is still not working in that case you have to replace web.config

How do i do that? it is not already enabled by default in the Web.Config?

How do i customize the Nlog file if i want to pass the logs from the robots to Orchestrator when they are in separated machines?

Please go through below link, by default it is disabled
