Logs Creation and local values during Debug in OpenRPA

[akarshan.sonkar]

Hi Eveyone,
I am new to this OpenRPA i just want to know how and where i can see the logs of the bot run in OpenRPA Desktop and the local values during the debug.

there is a video in this post that shows two ways of doing it

Does OpenRPA have an option to log job messages, similar to how uipath does it?

There are two solutions: a “hackish” way, using message queues, and the scalable and robust way using central logging into Loki (requires a license). [image] Using message queues or attaching logs to openrpa_instances in the database. [Collecting console output from OpenRPA]

I got your point on this but in video it is done on NodeRED but i want to log things in OpenRPA desktop app and Like in UiPath during debug how can i see the local value in openrpa desktop

No worries. You asked for logs, not the variable inspector, so that is what I answered too.

1. You can see logs by clicking the logging tab at the bottom, and on the side, you can enable and disable various levels of logging (you can also do that under settings).
2. You can set breakpoints in the workflow, using F9 and single-step through the code with F10 and F11. When a workflow is single-stepping, the properties dialog becomes a variable inspector.
