What's new
Log to server action supported for Task Bot

The Log to server action is now available for Task Bots, allowing developers to write custom log messages directly within their automations. Developers can classify these logs by severity level (Informational, Warning, Error, or Critical) and include detailed descriptions and recommended remediation steps to support faster troubleshooting in production environments. See Log to Server action.

You can view the automation runtime logs based on the storage location configured by the Control Room administrator. For example, if the administrator enables log forwarding to the Control Room, the custom log messages are recorded and stored in the Control Room repository.

For more information on how to configure the default server location for storing automation logs, see Manage server location for storing automation logs - Cloud and Manage server location for storing automation logs - On-Premises.
