Bot agent log files
Various types of information about the Bot agent are captured in different log files. You can analyze these log files when the Bot agent or a bot encounters an error and identify the root cause for that error.
Overview
- Determine whether a bot ran successfully
- Identify issues that resulted in a bot failure
- Determine if the device is properly connected with the Control Room
Log file locations
- Bot_Launcher
- Captures information about the execution of a bot such as the operations performed, events triggered, and errors encountered by the bot.
- Node_Manager
- Captures information about when a bot is run from the Control Room and communication details between a Bot Runner and the Control Room.
Log file configuration
The configuration files botlauncher-logging and
nodemanager-logging are available at C:\Program
Files\Automation Anywhere\Bot Agent\config. The information captured
for the Bot agent in the log files depends on the configuration
set in these files. You can update the configuration files to change the level of
information captured in these files by setting the value in the ROOT
level tag in the files, for example, ROOT level="INFO".

| TRACE | TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, and FATAL | This mode captures information for all the modes. |

bot. Information in this file is typically used by a Bot Creator. |
| INFO | INFO, WARN, ERROR, and FATAL | By default, this mode is set in the log files. This mode
