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

The Bot Agent log files enable you to perform these actions:

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

The Bot Agent log files are available at C:\ProgramData\AutomationAnywhere\BotRunner\Logs on your device. The following files are available at this location:

Bot_Launcher: Captures information about the execution of a bot such as the operations performed, events triggered, and errors encountered by the bot.; The filename now includes the name of the user running the bot on the Bot Runner. For a multi-user session machine, there will be a bot launcher log per user.
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.
